Looking back through the Sixties there is much to remember from the boxing clubs such as Nanaimo's Newcastle Boxing Club to the Vancouver Firefighters Boxng Club.

Looking back through the windows to the past, I remember the coaches Georg Nepper, Harry Pollitt, Skimp williams, Gerry Sorenson, Bert Lowes and Pat West or my visit a a guest trainee at the Hastings Community Centre boxing club and sparring with Orland Ralph and Kalnan Santosi.

And who could forget the Astoria boxing club with the Boyce family members

Walter, Tommy, wayne and Gerald Boyce and many others that were

part of the club such as Rick Fleck, Glenn McGee, Clint Page and many more
