reading the the posts in the archives.As you say,Kent,what a hoot!I've got to<br />
give you and Evren credit for your single mindedness in trying to get your point<br />
across in the face of personal attacks from some of the idiots who used to post<br />
here.I personally feel that anyone who has a legimate point,or even an argument<br />
to make,has a right to post his views on this website.However,let me qualify<br />
that by writing that anyone should express their opinion without fear of being<br />
ridiculed or insulted.After all,I would assume that anyone who is attracted to<br />
this site would have an interest in heavyweight boxers from the sixties to<br />
today.Otherwise,why bother posting on yhis site? this site's primary function is<br />
trying to bring Pugulistical Dementia to the attention of the greater public and<br />
the politicians who are empowered to make changes.It's also here for boxing<br />
historians.I was frustated by some of the more exotic characters in the archives<br />
and their mostly worthless,idiotic posts.<strong>The</strong>y set a tone of distinct hostility<br />
towards anyone who dared to disagree with their seemingly "written-in-stone"<br />
views and opinions.One of the big attractions of this site is that everyone<br />
respects all opinions.I love the sport of boxing.I'm not here to make moral<br />
judgements on any anyone.Actually,I think if <strong>Jerry</strong> had a drinking or drug<br />
problem and he overcame it,it would have made his life even more<br />
fasciniting!It's too easy to get nasty over an anonamous web site!I for one<br />
don't want to have to read posts from serious people who are apoligizing to the<br />
troublemakers for daring to have a conflicting view.What's next,we'll start<br />
exchanging"M----- F---er's with some angry teenage boys?|<br />

to Mike <strong>Quarry</strong> and I told him his fans have been praying for his recovery from<br />
cancer and that his fans have not forgotten him. He was very happy to hear<br />
this. Hang in there champ (and yes he has earned that title regardless if he<br />
won it in the ring)we are in your corner always. Steve, yes those characters<br />
were quite a hoot! It was even worse over at the old Joe Frazier's gym site.<br />
In some way, I kind of miss some of my old friends who were always sending snide<br />
comments my way. Oh by the way, I ran accross our old pal Brother DKS a few<br />
months ago on another site and he seemed very concerned that I had found him.<br />
He said something like, "oh no, you found me! Can't I get any peace?!" He also<br />
asked me not to tell any of the <strong>Quarry</strong> people where he was hanging out on the<br />
internet. As if they would follow me just to bug him! Of course I didn't let<br />
on I had found him to anyone and I still haven't said where he posts at. |<br />

just found out a few weeks back that we'd lost James <strong>Quarry</strong>. It was<br />
particularly sad news, as I'd spoken to him on occasion over the phone and<br />
written him, but never met him face to face. I was looking forward to that<br />
possibility, but it wasn't meant to be. Just weeks before this tragic news,<br />
I'd written this poem, "<strong>The</strong> Voice". Since his beloved brother <strong>Jerry</strong> was a poet,<br />
perhaps it belongs here as a tribute to James. As I recall, his voice was<br />
deep and gravelly, unique and truly impressive. We may never hear it again this<br />
lifetime except on tape, but along with <strong>Jerry</strong>'s, it will continue to be<br />
wonderfully audible just the same - as he guides us all as forcefully as ever -<br />
as to where to take this gift of their <strong>Foundation</strong> for the greatest possible good<br />
."Aren't renewed friendships just THE BEST ??!! <strong>The</strong>y come complete with<br />
melodies - like those favourite tunes that resonate in your memory long after<br />
the evening has passed. <strong>The</strong>y always come back to comfort - and to bring THE<br />
FEELING back alive. And if they have words - the "JUST RIGHT" words - the ones<br />
that touch you more deeply than you ever dared dream of being touched - well,<br />
they're all the better still, no? On the other hand, if the tune happens to be<br />
from Beethoven, no words could possibly enhance."THE<br />
