    In 1989 Ali came to Portland Oregon to officiate over the opening of our Police Activity League Gym. As a Portland Police Officer I was selected to be his personal bodyguard and driver for 3 days. This man was amazing. His style, gravitas and HUMOR is absolutely unsurpassed. The 3 days I spent with him are among my most cherished memories. Thank God I took photos and got signed memorabilia for my young son, now gone. God bless you Muhammad Ali.

Howard had his window down, and my friend said to howard loan me $5. Howard said, you give me 10 and I will loan you 5. We still laugh and tell that story.

      You're right but I think there was a little bit of tongue in cheek by both men! Ali was great and Howard was in the right place at the right time and, like a barnacle on a large and beautiful whale, he became popular because of these interviews! He was a very smart and Ali went on to take on a different role as peace keeping ambassador for the unattainable idealism thought, that there will be a time, when "...little Black children will play with little White children and not he judged on the color of their skin!" Imagine!

    This is somebody we'll never see the likes of again. Sharp as a tac, powerful and humble, yes humble. He stood up for what he believed in and he made sure we'd all know about it. I give him all the respect he deserves when he didn't go into the armed forces against the Vietnamese people. He said, "I've got no qualms with the Vietnamese, they didn't do anything to me". It now makes so much more sense to me. I'm 63 and although I've only watched a couple of fights with my father, I heard him say how great this man really was. I can appreciate that now. My friend's have all his fights on video and they'd watch them over and over so yeah, I heard Ali's voice alot and he was truly his authentic self. What you see is what you got. There will never be a man on Earth who could do what Ali has done. I miss his voice. I can hardly bear to watch the cruel trick a "loving God" played on him. I know people will say, everything happens for a reason. I'd then ask them, what's the reason for this cruelty. Missing you very much, Mr. Muhammed Ali. Rest now, 😔✨🤧🌹🌹🌹🌹
