This is an interesting class. It is nice to see another Olympic medalist (and Native American) enter the hall. I have attended every induction since 1995 (Fighting Harada) and this is the first time I can recall where there will be only one living boxer inducted. If I recall correctly, Mills Lane also has an Olympic connection. I believe he was one of the referees for the 1960 U.S. Olympic boxing trials. I have a grouping of the SF Examiner's original 4x5 negatives from those trials. I seem to recall seeing his name on the sleeve along with Cassius Clay, Wilbert 'Skeeter' McClure and Eddie Crook, Jr., but I would need to check my archives.
