    Glad to hear from you even after six years. I found information on your grandfather on Ancestry.com., the genealogical website. He applied for a passport when he had plans to go to Australia. Larry Jones had a number of bouts in Australia shortly afterwards. Jones' ring record can be found on the BoxRec website. - Chuck Johnston

    Joe Louis was 137 years old. Frank Sinatra wouldn’t lie about that.

    Luis Ortiz won Silver at the Greek Olympic games around 624 BC and he's still going strong, don't think he'll be surpassed.
