"Pete Ashlock has again set me up with good surroundings. He put me up in a nice 2-Bedroom
Condominium in Orlando. The place has a 2-Car garage, a pool and a 'work-out' facility. It is
the best place to be, with all the comforts of home."

"I even had my 'weekend car' {1971 Pontiac GTO 'Judge'} shipped out here, so I can drive my
'Baby' around, while power-shifting the 4-Speed. The car is an 'animal', as I put on a set of
Hooker Headers, an Edelbrock Aluminum High-Rise Intake Manifold and a Holley Carburetor,
plus a few other 'goodies'."

"Last week, I was almost going to sign a Fight Contract with Fight Promoter - Paul Chavez
of Albequerque, New Mexico."

"They had a few bouts lined up for me. But I really wanted a 'rematch' with Pedro Soto of
New York. Unfortunately, they could not guarantee me a bout with Soto, because he is locked
up with Madison Square Garden as their fighter."

"So, I'm back with Pete {Ashlock}, and he's got a few things 'up-his-sleeve', and some."
