I knew of you from my grandmother who has now passed on. I understand that you use to come over her house for dinner when you were at the gardens. She also made some of your jackets that you wore in the ring with all the sequins on them and she had pictures of you and your brother. Those were happy times for her, as she and my grandfather use to love to go to the Gardens and watch you fight. Probably one of your biggest fans. Rest in peace and check up on Mae & Frank Webber.

Steve and his "brother" Bob used to wrestle with my father in the late '50s/early '60s. Dad was known as Wild Bill Austin and Lord Essex.

Say hello to June when you're up there in...
