I like that one. I went to high school at his old high school and met him a couple of times way back in the day when he came back to town. Always nice to kids there.

What a handsome man Muhammed Ali is in this photo, poetic and warm. I liked how he was a good father, in all I heard of him. Of course, a great fighter. The “stinging like a bee” line always made me smile! Thanks for this, Beth. <3

Muhammad Ali was a man who impacted history in many ways. I am going to read more about his life as I was not very aware of him at the time. RIP, you were a man for the ages.

Gonna miss the man. He stood up for what he believed, he was great at his sport, and his sense of humor tickled everyone … except maybe the draft boarf. RIP, Champ.
