Uncle Ed,
Even though I am your grand neice I never knew all the things you did in your life. I always had fun helping with the front desk at some of the Golden Gloves events and came to realize that you and Aunt Dorothy were really "into" the boxing thing. It wasn't until your passing that I learned to what extent you were "INTO" boxing. I am amazed and impressed. Love, Joany
