    Yes sir, he definitely kept his dignity, good character, good health, and good name. Lee liked boxing but he didn't like the peripheral. I'm not the only person who thinks highly of Lee's boxing abilities and good character. Angelo once told me, "Helen and I would have ADOPTED Lee, we loved him so much, but his Mom wouldn't have liked that!" Trust me, Lee is a big man who could move and hit HARD. My 6'6" Dad and I stopped by Lee's gym one day and Lee grabbed Dad and hugged him. Lee ran off to the office to answer the phone and Dad looked at me, as he laughed and said, "good LORD he is BIG!". My Dad was starting center on U of Florida Gator basketball team late 50s. That gym hug happened about 20 - 25 years ago. God bless and have a Happy Easter.
