Cinderella Baby Tuesday, June 7, 2005 9:06 AM

I recently watched the movie Cinderella Baby and for the first ten minutes thought the fighters name James Braddock was very familiar. Then I realized that I scanned a photo of my Father while he was working at the fighters training camp preparing to defend the title against Joe Louis. 72 the fight depicted the hardship that James Braddock suffered during the depression. The pictures I have of my father tell a different story, fancy cloths, fast cars and woman. By the time he got around to raising a family he was ready to just cruise through life.
