FAMILY PHOTOS
For those of you (like myself) who know nothing about boxing, Al Weill was a famous boxing manager. He managed Rocky Marciano, Marty Servo, Lou Ambers, Joey Archibald, among others. If you knew Armand, you know that he loved Rocky Marciano.
This must have been a very exciting day for him. Though this photo is not a traditional fan photo of the two of them together, grinning at the camera, I know it must have been one that he treasured. Seeing him looking on from a few steps away, it is easy to see the respect he had for this man. John, Bob, was this a special event? Fill me in if you can. If anyone feels so inclined, please post your memories about Armand's fervent fandom!

There are pictures of my Dad, Collie Zuke, and Rocky Marciano in one of those silly pictures, as you said, grinning at the camera. They drove up to his training camp in Massachusetts. It mus have been in the early fifties.

You know Trish, there should have been a couple of pictures with the Old Man, Rocky, and Dad's friend Collie Zuccarelli. If they weren't there, just keep your eyes open for them, they do exist.
