This is my dad in Schaffer’s boxing gym in the late 1980’s. He was a Golden Glove Boxer for several years in a row in his early 30’s. My dad began boxing when he was 16 years old as a tall skinny kid who was given the name “Teddy Spaghetti”. Through years of hard work, will power, and discipline, he made his way state champion, and was later known as ”Terrible Ted”.
