January 2002 - March 2004 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

unaffected after many head traumas, and why someone else will actually die from
an injury that's actually pretty mild compared to boxing or some hits in
football. I knew a boy when I was in school who fell out of a tree, was
unconscious for five minutes, and afterwards, his personality was completely
different forever. His parents privately said that it was as if he'd been
possessed.The next I recall is talking to someone in the dressing shed
afterwards. There was no headaches, nothing. And I recalled the first half of
the game clearly. >That's really unusual - no dizziness, headache,
nausea, memory loss, but it happens once in a while. It would be interesting to
~completely~ understand what's going on in there and why, and reasons for
differences (which medicine doesn't). Both have full heads of hair with
a low hair line on the forehead.....just like Ali and President Reagan. Noticing
this makes me wonder whether I've had too many hits to the head.
Cheers.>They're finding out more and more all along, but right now, it's
still like a partly completed jigsaw puzzle. Taking that metaphor a step
further, I imagine when the final answer to Alzheimer's and the other forms of
dementia are finally understood, the final picture will be different than many
would predict it would be at different points along the way to completion of the
puzzle.|

agree with you,it makes me sick that Jerry made so little money in some of his
biggest fights.Guys like Hector Comacho made 6 million bucks per fight because
of several factors. Did he really make 6 million per fight? He was an
arrogant,loud,and a flamboyant fighter who got peoples attention,especially the
networks.His ethnic origions,he became a hero to many mexican people.He also
could fight a little bit. He strung together a pretty impressive record before
he actually fought anybody dangerous. Jerry,on the other hand,was put in with
Machen way to early in his career.Especially given Machen's
difficult,elusive,seasoned style.That lose hurt his career badly,in terms of
financial marketability.The loss to Frazier,big mistake.There where plenty of
fighters he could have developed on,while building his experience and public
interest.The fight against Norton,was the biggest management mistake in his
career! He gets a call while he's drunk on vacation,and agrees to a fight with
Ken Norton,on two weeks notice. Now,yes a Quarry in shape,even at this late
stage in his career,had a very good change of beating Norton.A fighter with
Quarry's status,should never have had to take a fight on two weeks notice!
Especially coming of a beating from Joe Frazier earlier that year. I really
think that this is where the final,irreperable damage was done to that poor
brave warrior.|

family comes from County Wexford. My mother was born there.I still have over 50
living relatives there.I hope your last name isn't Broder or Broaderick. I hope
none of your mothers relatives where Doyles.If it turned out we where
cousins,I,d have to shoot myself! Your right about the Irish being one of the
trully blessed ethnic groups.We are literate,poetic,sensitive,{ except for
you},and incurably romantic.We also like the occasional wake,or wedding,where we
at least have an excuse to drink whiskey and fight.On a personal note,since you
asked the question,"where have I scuffled? I did two tours in Vietnam with the
1st. Air Cav. I then spent 25 years in bar fights all over south jersey.I've
never laced on a pair of gloves in my life.Now are we done posturing? |

remember Daryl Breece,s phone number?You can put it on this site because he has
done so himself. Hey R.S.,you
still haven't responded to my questions about your assertions that there is
clinical evidence prooving,or even suggesting that N.Y. Mohawk American Indians
have a different inner ear structure or a different hip bone structure thet
makes them superiour to whites and black ironworkers in walking the high iron.
