Georgia on My Mind

[H2O Man]

15. Thanks!

Recently, I was talking to a Canadian friend. He and I were amateurs in the same time, and a Canadian promoter tried to set up a fight between us. It never happened.

I mentioned an old trainer to him,who I shared a friendship with, and he said the fellow had actually got his father into boxing in the 1950s. His father had gotten his my buddy and his brother into the sport, where they both won world titles. He competed on a much higher level than I ever reached, but we've found that a heck of a lot of our experiences were the same. And now we are the elders of the sport, trying to pass insights on to the young lions.

Life is strange, sometimes. I often get the feeling that there is a similar connection when I converse with you here. That we are "elders," trying to encourage people to think. It's always a pleasure.
