Don Fraser was the chief of publicity for the Hollywood Legion Stadium in his late 20's, and held the same position for the Olympic during his 30's, and the same for the Forum Boxing Club in his 40's.
Some might find that unimportant, but I'm putting together a story on Don, and I'm uncovering some interesting things. I remember a photo of a baby-face Fraser holding a microphone up to Hollywood Legion matchmaker, Hap Navarro, while visiting training camp, Sopers?. I believe the interview was related to a match featuring Willie Bean? I have always been fond of Hap's memories of Don Fraser & Don Chargin. They were all young men in those days, including Mr. Navarro, whose recall and boxing history is brilliant.
