January 2002 - July 2006 - The Jerry Quarry Foundation

their archives. However, they are not the only place that posts my articles. I
have been on dozens of web sites all over the world in the last five years and
sometimes magazines will pick up some of my stuff, mainly travel publications
that you find at hotels and on airlines.Eastside boxing has its own
message boards as well and not everybody can get on the main page as the site
owners are discreet in not letting just anybody on it. That is what the message
boards are for.I am also doing work for The Retired Boxers Foundation
and for a spanish cable network called Hombre T.V. If you want to know about
me, ask my friend Alex Ramos, he is a good reference for me.I also get
all of the press releases from Don King Enterprises and other boxing sources as
well as press credential applications from most of the promoters in the U.S,.
which means I can get into a lot of major events without paying and I sit at or
close to ringside and I have more access to boxers than most fans would
have.I also have the opportunity to interview major players in the
boxing world, mainly teleconferences where I am one of about 20 reporters who
get about two questions a piece. But I also can get one on one interviews too.
I do boxing writing part time not for money but because I like to do it.
I guess that Noam questions my credentials because he is interviewing me for a
job. I don't know why he would care about me so much otherwise.I guess
he might think I am some rich man's son who never has had to lift a finger in my
life but although I have done well in the last few years as I am part owner of a
company that does very well which lets me do my writing part time and other
things, there was a time when this wasn't the case. I didn't even have a car
for five years and I rode a bicycle, walked, or took a bus to a job I hated and
sometimes I had to walk long distances home late at night.I dreamed
about getting out of that dead end job and for the last seven years I have been
able to do so.Someone mentioned that information comes up on me if you
do a google search on my real name, Kent Appel. At least I am a real person who
someone can find out something about my activities. Just as Jimmy D and Steve
from New Jersey, among others, are real people too.SO NOAM, DO I GET THE
JOB? You couldn't possbibly care that much about little ol me unless you are
trying to put me down. You wouldn't do that, would you?|

7/29/05.What the heck is going on?That sure didn't sound like one of your normal
posts.Relax man.I've talked to Kent a few times on the phone.He seems like a
pretty squared away guy.Not somebody who should have to defend his way of life
on this really great site.|

!Your that big,nasty ninth Infantry ground pounder whom everyone in our
V.A.group is afraid to talk to.Helpfull hint,stop sharpening that k-bar during
our group meetings.|

and Howard. Kent and Fan are living off memories that never existed. I mean
really their posts are pretty off base. They see and hear things that nobody
else does. How is that possible?|
|7/29/05 06:38:25 PM|Italian Stallion|Philly||Unknown||||10|Kent and Fan are
right on! Smoking Joe was one of the best ever. he would have owned Shavers,
Lyle and Norton and true boxing fans know it. I remember one time I saw Bernard
and some dude talking loudly. Dude took a swing at Bernard and Bernard body
slammed the dude, then helped him up. The dude says sorry Bernard and Bernard
said just remember who your f-ing with then they both laughed. That's street
cred.|
