View all 10 ReflectionsI was born in 1968. I always wanted to meet this man. He was a hero to anyone who ever told me a story about him. I know in his off time he taught boxing at the local boys club in Vernon. He was a prison guard at Alcatraz and a professional boxer when he went to California. God Bless him.
