He was a boxer and then a well known referee. He did the Tyson-Holyfeld fight and was on Celebrity Death Match as a voice actor for a few years until his 2002 stroke.

She is an interesting person. Fun to mix it up with verbally as in writing not talking on Facebook.

I do not box though and am not a physical kind of violence person. Last person I boxed with later shot me in the left pinky with a BB gun after aiming at my eye. I convinced him to try to shoot between my fingers and he missed. Thank goodness I had a different "friend" with me at the time and this shooter was soon in some kind of violence prevention program his parents put him in. I see that he runs a business in Reno, Nevada now. This happened when I was around 15 but got me away from my rather violent friends and into reading books which intensified as soon as a certain English teacher at Earl Wooster HS took me under her wing and got me reading books like Anna Karenina.
