Name: Pinklon "Pink" Thomas
Favorite Book: "Charley Burley" by Alan Rosenfeld "I go to the library a lot. But I recently started re-reading one of my own books, "Charley Burley--The Uncrowned Champion". It was written by a friend of mine, Alan Rosenfeld. I met Alan through Hank Kaplan, God rest his soul, and boxing writer, Ron Ross. Man, this book is thick! But the more I read it, the more I enjoy it. There are many characters in there I know personally, like my old trainer, Gene Buffalo, and Angelo Dundee, who also trained me, and Joe West from Seattle, Washington. I recently brought the book into a high school classroom, and during a 20-minute sustained-reading period, I read along with the students." |
