WOW!!! What a weekend it was.
Those who were unable to attend missed a memorable event. Just listening to groups of people who love boxing and know each other but do not get to see each other sitting around chatting about boxing was great. Many great stories were told.
Some of the highlights:
- We collected over 150 books for the Early Learning Coalition-these books are given directly to children to take home.
- Pinklon Thomas working out with up and comng boxers.
- Ferdie Pacheco, Lee Groves selling there autographed books.
- Live radio broadcast with interviews from the Inductees on WTAN 1340 AM "Unvarnished radio" with host Gary DePury.
- Lectures by Referee Brian Garry, Judge Michael Pernick and Medical Dr. Allan Fields
- Lots of boxing memorabilia for sale
- All of the Inductees signing autographs
- Great food, fun and entertainment

Congratulations on a job well done for the 2010 Florida State Boxing Hall of Fame. You planned and directed a fabulous event. I suppose you had some problems but none that we attending the event, could see. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to speak about my friends who were honored. I attended out of curiosity but was slightly overwhelmed by the quality of the event and the amount of those in boxing who attended. The accommodations were excellent. Butch killed the bear but "you were the one who shot it". I know about that statement because my wife, Judy, does all my arrangements, planning, letter writing, etc.
Yours in the sweet science,
Dwaine Simpson
