Some Stuff I Wrote (2001) H. Morris Williams

Mildenberger put up a spirited battle but he was no match for the blurring speed and incredible

boxing savvy of World Champion Ali in his prime. But there was a guy in Ali’s comer whose broad
shoulders and powerful physique made you wonder if he could have been a world champion himself

- Jim Brown,the incomparable running back of the Cleveland Browns, and Ali’s long-time friend.
Muhammad Ali alias Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., alias “The Louisville Lip” floated like a

butterfly and stung like a bee through twenty-one championship fights and became a Hall of Fame
champion. Some of his opponents were easy, like Coopman, others were ferocious, like Joe Frazier.

Then when Ali was 38 years old and well past his prime he fought one fight too many. In
1979, a young Larry Holmes gave Ali a vicious beating. Ali was knocked out in the eleventh round

and he has suffered mental impairment ever since.

Don Reed
Hurricane Andrew: Don Reed, local contractor, felt he wanted to help Andrew’s survivors

in a personal way. So, he loaded his van with food and tools and, all alone, headed for South Florida
and spent a week helping people there rebuild. The people of Southside Baptist Church decided they

wanted to give something that was very special to them so they are giving their church organ. They
have selected a church whose building was destroyed and when that building is rebuilt, they will
transport their beloved organ to South Florida and present it to their fellow Christians.
