January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

personal business as much as possible. As someone pointed out, most families
have similar circumstances of conflict but the Quarrys have been more in the
public eye than most others. |

IREMEMBER BOTH OF THEM. I REMEMBER JOHN CLOHESSY VERY WELL, I SAW EVERY FIGHT
HE HAD IN THE GOLDEN GLOVES. HE WON THE HEAVYWEIGHT SUB NOVICE DIVISION IN 1970.
TOUGH DURABLE GOOD LOOKING(HANDSOME)GUY. I SAW BILL SHARKEY FIGHT IN THE PRELIMS
IN THE GOLDEN GLOVES AS A LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT. BILL ALSO WAS AN ALUMNI OF THE
GRAYROCK COLLEGE|

for the honer of being considered a newby "Stooge",as I haven't really been here
anywhere near as long as you and Kent or Bob and Paul.Bye the way ,"The Three
Stooges" [with Curley],just happens to be my all time favorites of days gone
by.Laurel and Hardy are next.Guess I'm showing my age.
Kent,Jimmy,Bob,Paul,John,Evren,and everyone else on this site,"Aint It Great !!"
This boxing site has more intelligent,experienced,and carefully considered
comments than any boxing site I've come across.The amount of memories and
experiences of boxing from my era and before is amazing.I especially value the
tidbits about the Quarry family from people who grew up around them or where
involved with them through the sport of boxing.I only regret that since I've
moved into my trailer here in the outback I can only make brilliant comments on
this site once a week,due to atmospheric conditions and the alignment of global
telecommunications sattelites. Does anyone have the Boxing Illustrated issue
with a cover showing a smiling Jerry and his wife Charlie? The caption on the
cover read,"What power is driving Jerry Quarry to the heavywieght crown?"It was
published during his last comeback.I think sometimes between the Shavers and Joe
Alexander fight.|

recently begun tuning in to this site but, reading through the archives, it
seems to me that all of the long-term posters are geuine boxing fans who enjoy
reliving memories of the sport and, in particular, the Quarrys. I don't
understand the point you are making in your messages and I am not sure whether
you are ridiculing me by mentioning Australia and flies and trailers and beers
and the rest of the stuff you brought up in your last couple of posts. That sort
of comment doesn't worry me because if you are really in Australia (like you
say) then you wouldn't have time to be leaving posts on this site (given that
Kent correctly indicated to you that women outnumber men 8 to 1 over here). I
am not even sure whether you are criticising the Quarrys in your last posting,
so you should enlighten us with your unambiguous point of view. My view is that
the Quarrys always answered the bugle and that few were more courageous. The
only thing I agree with you about is that The Three Stooges were very, very
funny. Go give yourself an upper cut. |

,pardner.I really don't understand your interpretation of my last post.The
absolute last thing I want to do is offend anyone on this site.Allow me to
enlighten you. 1.My point of view may have seemed ambiguous simply because my
last two posts had no point.I was just trying to be funny.2.Let there be no
ambiguity on these points of view.I love this website! I am a lifelong,fanatical
Quarry fan.How you think I'm critisizing them mystifies me.3. My last post was
,I thought,as friendly as I can get.I said," Aint this site great!" 4.You stated
that you haven't been visiting this site for very long.Perhaps you don't realize
that the "Stooges" is an ongoing fun type theme between Jimmy Dorsey and Kent
Appel.I merely stated that I was flattered to be included in the fun!5.After
reading your post I realized that most people on this site don't know what the
hell I'm talking about with the Australia comments.On the old Frazier site,a guy
named Toby used to have a pretty funny dialoge going with several other
posters.He told us he was from Australia,lived in a trailor park,and drank beer
