@WilliamDettloff @MatthewAguilar5 @GWillisSports The Garfield Gunner or The Garfield Ghost. Here he is at Madame Bey's famous #boxing camp in Chatham, NJ, from my photo collection. He used to hunt on the ground while training. Boxers were a different breed back then; they lived at the camps.

@RingsideSeatMag As detailed in my book, he found Asbury Park too hot and headed to Madame Bey's cool woods to finish his training for Louis. Here he is at Bey's for the Louis fight with manager Joe Jacobs, and then there after the fight with Louis.

@TedBey @Lit_as_Adab Madame Bey was brought back to life thanks to @GenePantalone and his book. I am really indebted to him. 🙏🏼😊

@IsilAcehan @TedBey @Lit_as_Adab Isil, thank you very much for the kind words.

My book on Lew Jenkins gets a mention in this great article by Matthew Ward​ about boxers who served in the military. Many remarkable stories here including two military men--Norton and Spinks-who beat Ali.

Lucy has nothing on this guy. Spotted when driving through Scotch Plains, NJ. Didn't see Charlie Brown, though.
