Remember when?

[marv2]

I remember listening to the radio for updates of the Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier fight [[March 8, 1971). I was a huge Frazier fan - even at age 9 - and that fight was one of the first shown on closed-circuit [[live on movie screens), which meant that we couldn't watch it. It was a school night and I lay wide awake for the updates every three minutes.

I was in the 5th grade during the time of that fight in March of 1971. I had a TV in my bedroom and the first thing I did when I woke up the morning after was turn on the TV to hear about the fight. It was on the Today Show I learned that Ali had lost. I actually cried! I did not want to go to school that day LOL!
