Close enough, Rick. Fraser was about 24 when he got the Legion job in essence replacing me as boxing publicist because I had been named head matchmaker and that created the opening. He stayed with the Legion for a few years under Jack Leonard before moving on to the Olympic
The photo you mentioned at Soprs was taken at a press party I hosted for the upcoming Willie Vaughn vs Charlie Green state title match which got a few votes for Fight of the Year from the media even though I had already resigned
The Vaughn Green fight was one of the greatest upsets in Legion history, as Willie got off the floor twice as a ten to one underdog to win a unanimous decision over hard hitting Green.
Take care pal, hap navarro.
