Jimmy Dorsey may have more information about street brawls involving the Quarrys
as he grew up in Bakersfield. I do have a good source of information within the
Quarry clan but I forget to ask him about trival things like brawls. We talk
about things such as what is going on in our lives and often we don't even talk
about Jerry or even boxing. Steve is right. I hear things sometimes and I
don't repeat them, at least not in a public forum and of course I would never
repeat something a friend told me not to say anything about and I consider my
source a friend of mine. Not that he has told me anything recently that is of
any significance that anyone else would want to know.Iroically, Mr.
Jimmy told me some good fight stories but I don't remember that much about them
as public brawling is not much of an interest of mine. I will add one
that I heard on ESPN classic. Apparently two young thugs tried to pull Jack
Dempsey out of a cab to rob him. Dempsey being elderly at the time hit each of
them once to the body and they both fell to the ground and they would not get
up, being afraid of what this tough old man would do to them. One punch for
each of them was enough!|

have awhile ago parted ways on street fighting.He knows some outragious stuff!
Out of respect for Kent,I won't repeat it.Kent and I disagree on street
fighting. He is a sports writer.I,however,am just an old,retired street
fighter.I love the inside poop about the Quarryclan.They where a
rompin,stompin,grapes of wrath family.God bless them!This families story reads
like a Steinbechian novel. Kent beleives that these stories of the Quarry family
migration to Cal. are too personal. I believe they are perfect fodder for a book
on the reality of the Irish,american experience during the "dust bowl" nightmare
of the 20's and 30's. I think Kent,or someone,is missing a great opportunity for
a book. |

Spencer. That movies were not about boxing but, anyway,Bud gave him a
beating in all that 4 movies ( in the real life I think it would have been a
littledifferent...)|

give me more credit on knowing what happened to the Quarrys as far as early
history or street brawling than I actually know but it would be facinating
research. Like I said, Jimmy Dorsey would know more about the street stuff than
I do even though Mr Jimmy (James Quarry, for those that don't know) told me some
stories that I didn't take notes about, sorry Steve but I guess I didn't think
it was that significant at the time. Mr. Jimmy was a good source of info and he
will always be missed on these pages.Others have been at work on the
Quarry story, Daryl if you are out there, how's the book coming? haven't talked
to you for a while.Koo Koo, you can laugh all you want but I already am
the author of a book of children's stories and I am working on a book of science
fiction sthort stories.I am still puzzled the hatred this person has for
me. I would say he was jealous if it wasn't for the fact that I really don't
think I am that big of a deal. I am just an ordinary guy putting my two cents
worth out there. If I happen to have a forum on some other sites to express my
opinions, I am in way lucky they let me do it. That is the way I see myself.
I GIVE UP, KOO KOO CAN RANT ALL HE WANTS BUT I WILL NO LONGER READ OR
PAY ATTENTION OR RESPOND TO ANY OF IT. |
