Greetings Cecil
Great bio! Back in 87 I moved to AZ and met Pauvo and learned to box at Top Level. I just wanted to mention beyond Cheatham and several other decent boxers it sounds as though you may have been the one most successful by far along with Chuck Walker.
Also it’s good to hear Rollin is on the correct and made the correct choice for the future.
Anyways if you have any unique images or story’s of Pauvo please share I really liked and respected that man. Every time I vacationed in AZ I would pick him up or spend time listening to his old school theatre stories.
