    hh, I MUST APOLOGIZE to you. I had in mind FRITZIE ZIVIC,incorrectly, thinking that "gentleman "Fritzie was stopped in his first bout in 1931, but upon rechecking my sources, I discovered that Zivic in fact won his first bout
    Oct.5,1931 by TKO. I now slink away with my tale between my legs. :patsch

    We all make mistakes, so don't worry about it!

    Wednesday morning I will be going to Florida for 2 weeks to visit my wife's son's families. They both had babies in the last year and a half and we haven't seen the latest one who was born late last year.
