Doc’s Sports Today and in the Day, Sept 23, 2013: “The Day Muhammad Ali Came to Town” on ESPN Sports Radio 1340 AM Eureka at 7:55 AM

As a freshman at UC San Diego I attended the Muhammad Ali-Kenny Norton heavyweight fight on Mach 30, 1973 at the San Diego Sports Arena. A small incident that happened directly in front of me after Ali’s jaw was broken and he’d suffered his worst defeat to date, revealed the heart and mind of a true champion.

Doc leads Moonlight Tour of Jack London’s Wolf House – Jack London State Park, Glen Ellen, CA, 7:30 PM, Saturday, Sept. 21

Moonlight Tour of the Wolf House Ruins

He was the most popular American author of his day – adventurer, romantic, realist, revolutionary, sportsman, socialist, dreamer…combative, contrary, contradictory, charismatic, and courageous – Jack London’s legacy lives here amidst the mystical magic of Valley of the Moon and the silent stones of the burned out Wolf House that was to stand for a thousand years.

Walk down the old ranch road under a full moon to the house that Jack built and learn of the extraordinary life that Jack London and his “mate-woman”, Charmian lived. Relive the magical tale of the Wolf House fire. Savor the moonlit atmosphere sipping wine produced from the grapes harvested on Jack’s estate and enjoy spending a transformative evening of storytelling, music, and the stuff of dreams.
