I'm guessing, knowing the age of some, a few of us might pee ourselves regardless, but I hope you'll appreciate the sentiment nonetheless.

Edit: Let's just say a flood of well wishes is flowing in your general direction.

Seconded, hope all is well........

I thought that Scot was going on vacation. I sure hope everything is Ok with him and his family. I havent been able to be on much because of my ailing father,but when I have come on and posted...really strange not seeing Sal's avatar on every other post it seems. Damn,got me worried now! Take care guys!

He was on vacation when TBCB3 was announced. I hope all is well, he was on the board on the 19th but hasn't posted here since the 13th (I think)

Sal's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

[SAL]

Thanks for the well wishes and the concern guys.

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for not being around to let you guys know what's going on.

I volunteered my services the past two weeks to help in the clean up in Greensburg Kansas. The town was leveled by a tornado last month and needs all the help they can get. Plus I've been squeezing in my daughter's softball tournaments on the weekends. Anyway, let me catch up on some sleep and forgotten chores around my house and week 2 should start by Tuesday night (2 days).

Once again, sorry for keeping everybody in the dark. This is the first time I've seen a computer in a couple of weeks that I could post on.

YES, SAL's alive. Good to hear that life was just busy and not that anything bad had happen. Looking forward to the start of week 2.

Hey, Sal, while you were gone me and Romy had a fun back and forth involving your character in my IBL thread.

Thanks Dan. I'll head over that way if I can stay awake long enough.

[mh2365]

Should have guessed he was off doing superhero stuff ... Glad everything is alright.

Good to see you breathing Scot.

Take your time, this isn't all that important in the grand schedule.

Thanks guys. No hero stuff......just long days and nights and a lot of elbow grease.
The town I work out of (Parsons KS) was hit pretty hard by a tornado in 2002 and I remember how glad I was to see volunteers come to that town and help out with the clean-up efforts. I just felt like I needed to help the people of Greensburg out as way of payback.

Here's a few shots from Greensburg before I got there.

Welcome back Scot!

[Tommysixfingers]

You did a good thing there Scot.

Welcome back!

[Lee]

Great to see you back Scot, and much respect for serving your community in the wake of that Tornado. You are truly one of the good Guys!

[Ian Lord]

Great to see you back Scot.

[Tosti]

Good to see you back Scot. Must have been tough work.

I read this e-mail in last Fridays Boxing News.

BOOM BOOM MANCINI STOPPED AT MY HOUSE

I received a list of American boxers addresses in 1989. I wrote to at least 60 but the man I really wanted to hear from was former WBA Lightweight Champ Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini.

About a month later I got a photo and a letter from Ray. He said he never realised there were people in the UK who were fans of his. We became pen pals and after a while swapped phone numbers and email addresses.

Last October I spoke to certain members of the Welsh EBA and told them I was in contact with Ray and was sure we could bring him over for a celebrity dinner.

On April 16th this year I finally met the man I had been in contact with for 18 years. I was not disappointed.

Nothing was too much trouble for Ray and I'm sure the fans who attended will never forget him.

After the dinner, he said he would be delighted to stay at my home in Kent for the weekend. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have this fantastic man in the presence of my family home.

I would like to thank, through BN, the Welsh EBA for bringing him over.

Ray lives in California, is a successful businessman with his own company, has a lovely family and keeps himself in great shape.

Thought that might cheer you up!

Great thing you did Scot. Thats what this world needs more of..people who care for those in need or those less fortunate! Glad to see that you are OK and back in action. Ya had us all a little more than worried. Take care fellas.
