Longshot -- Photo Identification
Posted: 21 Dec 2008, 02:01
My late grandfather is the person second from the left as you face this photo. I am curious whether anyone might be able to identify the fighter or anyone else in the photo. I realize this is an incredible longshot.
My grandfather's name was Morris Robinson. Just judging by his apparent age in the photo, I am guessing this picture was taken in the late 40s or earlyl 50s. Morris had a brief boxing career in his youth, and he bacame a car dealer in Dallas. His dealership was Morris Robinson Dodge. I know he sponsored events at the Dallas Sportatorium, so this could have been taken there, but knowing him, it could have been anywhere.
Alternatively, can anyone suggest other sites or people to whom I might forward this for identification? I have no interest, other than curiosity about my grandfather.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Jed
