Jan 2021

my brother died. My son and I have been going through scrapbooks and photo albums. My brother ran a great amateur boxing team from a small village in NYS, that was the #1 team north of NYC. My son asked why it ended? For it had served kids from society's margins, kids not involved in high school sports, who became state champions? Reduced "problems" at home, in school, and in the community. It costs the village zero dollars, as it ran on my brother's dime. But they closed it, denying him the needed space in the community center.

This is speculation on my part. But my brother had started joining me in political activities. (I even introduced him to Abbie.) I think that systems do not allow for those who can organize people at the margins, teach them self-discipline, and serve as the group's leader. Just my opinion.
