I knew her as my mom's lifelong friend, but as layers of her life were revealed, I discovered uncanny connections between us – so eerily similar as to be downright spooky.
Thanks, Lisa. Next effort-getting her inducted in that Hall Of Fame. Should be an easy slam dunk but when it comes to women and male institutions, it never is! On we go!
Thrilled to read about Margery Miller's feats, and to know that a woman was writing about boxing all those years ago. The parallels in her life and yours, Melissa, are remarkable! Thanks for this story.
Michele: I'm going to call you or email you or both to see if AWSM might be able to write a letter of nomination for Margery Miller Welles to bolster her chances of being inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Talk soon, and thanks for sharing your kind feedback on my essay. Fun one to write!
Thanks, Bill. I'm soooo grateful to Arlene for pushing this effort ahead and giving me reason to tag along. And I am happy to be able to write about my mom, again. All best, M
Such an interesting story, thank you for sharing!
