Hello soupers below I write on the honour of knowing dear Ken Booty.' Maybe someone will know of him.' Thinking of him cheers my heart.' I also remember Don Hough, another old fighter at Shepparton.' He would Give his time to learn you.' He'd get about locally on his bike wearing a Stetson hat.' All respect Don.'
Ken lived in Alexandra town..Which you'll find within the Borders of Vic..A family man who worked the hotmix Hands moving strong and quick.' Although born as A Kiwi.' He became an Aussie true' an ex pugalist who had Challenged for middleweight dominance in the Oceanian Games' now who'd have knew? He tuaght me how to come And go' to walk back jabbing straight, to duck and weave And use all speed.!! A man you'd value as your mate no Gloves we wore and knuckles cracked we split a lip or two' I gave him a black eye, he got up and said a good hit from You. ' An honour to have known this gentleman' I tell each one And all of you.'
