FIRE and ICE in 1983 Nanaimo Boxing

DEEP FREEZE BOXING in NANAIMO:  By Brian Zelley
*In the Spring 1983 issue of the Vancouver Island Amateur 
Boxing News, I covered that card held at the Frank Crane Arena
on January 15, 1983.

(reprint of the story from 1983)
********************************************************************************
"...Due to extreme cold, many of the boxers could not get warmed-up
enough to put up a fair showing.  Island boxers included
Paul Deluca, Scott Cessford, Rick McNally, Roman Grimard, Sheldon Samuels,
Gary Wood, Lyle Jack, Pete Seggie, Jim Fidler and Cody Redford.  The officials
in attendance included Bert Lowes, Rick Brough, Bob Perry, Brian Zelley,
Joe Preston, Frank Bowers and John Jackson.  Also, in attendance was
BCABA president Larry Carney and past president Fred Fuller."
