I haven't seen her since Covid arrived, but keep up to date on face book.
Unlike Sandra, I'm not very smart. But I do know from close to 60 years of boxing and training boxers, what Cus D'Amato said was true beyond the ring. Cus taught that both the coward and the hero experience the same fear -- for anyone who does not fear fighting in the ring is lying to themselves, just as anyone not un-nerved by the current social-political reality is lying to themselves. The fear is like fire: the coward is consumed by its flames, while the hero finds it heats the house when used safely.
And I fully agree we have many fronts to fight on. As Malcolm X used to say, we need to fight on every front!
