Name: Willie Pastrano Career Record: click Birth Name: Wilfred Raleigh Pastrano Nationality: US American Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Born: 1935-11-27 Died: 1997-12-06 Age at Death: 62 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6′ 0″ Trainers: Angelo Dundee & Whitey Esneault Manager: Whitey Esneault Wilfred Raleigh Pastrano was born in the Vieux Carrê district of New Orleans, Louisiana, on 27 November 1935. He had a hard upbringing, under the gaze of a strict father who threatened him with the belt if he caught him backing off from a confrontation. 'I used to run from fights,' he told American writer Peter Heller in 1970. 'And papa would see it from the steps. He'd take his belt, he'd say "All right, me or him?" and I'd go beat the kid: His father worked wherever and whenever he could, in shipyards and factories, sometimes as a welder, sometimes as a carpenter. 'I remember nine dollars a week paychecks,' the youngster recalled. 'Me, my mother, my step-brother, and my father and whatever hangers-on there were...there were always floaters in the family.' Pastrano was an overweight child but, like millions of youngsters at the time, he wanted to be a sports star like baseball's Babe Ruth.

Their addresses and description of their boxing interests appear elsewhere in this newsletter. NEW ADDRESS Reg Noble has become our first Texas member. His address is now: P.C. Box 3666, Conroe, Texas 77305. DID YOU KNOW That Primo Carnera, in his 6th year of professional boxing, was 6 inches taller, a 6-5 favorite at &o'clock, and 60 pounds heavier than Jack Sharkey. Carnera scored his 60th career knockout in the 6th round of the 6th bout of the evening in the 6th month of 1933 when he won the heavyweight title from Sharkey. (contributed by Julius Weiner) IBRO MEETING Plans are being made for a meeting of IBRO members. Included on the agenda would be a discussion of goals and direction for the organization and possible joint projects. It is tentatively being scheduled for April, 1984 at an Eastern location. Let's hear your thoughts on this. BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY Several IBRO members are now working on biographical essays for the Biographical Dictionary of American Sport. This four-volume work is scheduled for publication by the Greenwood Press in 1986. Prof. David L. Porter, William Penn College, Cskaloosa, Iowa 52577 is the editor. He still needs authors for essays on Paul Berlenbach, Tony Canzoneri, Dixie Kid, Johnny Dundee, Billy Papke, Willie Pep, Tommy Ryan, John Henry Lewis, and Sammy Mandell.
