Re: UNSUNG HEROES - The foundation of boxing
The Coaches:
From the west coast to New England shores, the lifeblood of boxing are the thousand of amateur boxing coaches such as the late Sarge Johnson.
In British Columbia as we travel back to the Forties and Fifties some names to remember are: Tommy Gann. Tommy Paonessa, Len Gervais,
Nick Lystar, Harry Pollitt, Pat O'Reilly and many more.
As we moved into the Sixties some other names include
Fred Fielding, Pat West, Harry Morris, Elio Ius, Frank Lucas,
and many more.

Re: UNSUNG HEROES - The foundation of boxing
From Portland, Oregon to Prince George, BC, we have had our share of coaches from Chuck Lincoln (Portland), Bob Decker (Seattle & Vancouver),and Irving and Harold Mann (Prince George), Mike Sartori (Victoria).
George Nepper (Nanaimo) and the cornerman class of former Chemainus boxer Skimp Williams.
Be good to hear about some from Idaho, Montana and North Dakota.

Re: UNSUNG HEROES - The foundation of boxing
ALUMNI OF GOLDEN GLOVES by brian zelley
Recently reviewing an old boxing program from 1971 and it included a history of boxers that fought in the BC Golden Gloves in the Forties, Fifties and Sixties and only 57 boxers were mentioned from 29 boxing tournaments. Missing from the story of the Sixties were a number of top ranked boxers from Washington and Oregon including GARY FERRARI, MIKE COLBERT, NEIL KNIGHT, RAY LAMPKIN and WESLEY CRAVEN.
RAY LAMPKIN was the 1968 Golden Boy and NEIL KNIGHT was the 1969 Golden Bo, in a 2010 boxing program all the past Golden Boys were listed except for 1968 and 1969, Lampkin and Knight were nowhere to be seen. Lampkin was from Portland and Knight was from Seattle.

Most of us that fought in the Tacoma, Oregon and Seattle Golden Gloves in the Sixties form British Columbia have a very high level of respect for CHUCK LINCOLN and his brother and of course the many great boxers from Portland including one that I fought twice RAY LAMPKIN, but there were many other excellent boxers. Ray also fought in the 1967 and 1968 Golden Gloves in Vancouver and was the 1967 Golden Boy runner-up and the 1968 Golden Boy (what class).Hello, I just wanted to comment on my Father Chuck Lincoln, thank you for remember him.
