I'm no particular fan of boxing, but I happened to see this news today and looked up the record.
Max Schmeling, heavyweight champ of the 1930s died Wednesday, February 2 at 99. He's an example of the kind of men who used to be boxers, men like Schmeling, Louis, Patterson, Marciano; flawed but respectable. A far cry from the generation of dirtbags we've lately witnessed.

Some have suggested that I replace my high school graduation photo at the top of this index, but the only images I have are of some old man; suggestions welcome.
