ernie
so looking forward to seeing him in a couple of weeks for some more lessons and straight talk--he has a great emphasis on footwork and movement under the bag which i hope will be our focus this time--he is indeed a really good man--grins ddOriginally posted by Speedbag View PostHere's one of our oldest and most enthusiastic bag brothers, 81 year old Ernie Oriente on a local news clip.the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limitations

Glad you got to meet E.O. Sorry I was not home when you called.Originally posted by Biff View PostI had the pleasure and privilege of spending 1 -1/2 hours with Ernie while in FL recently. He invited me to hit with him on his home-made platform in his garage. What a super bagger and great individual.
Two paisanos!

I was in FL last week visiting my brother; he's about an hour away from Sarasota. I left a message at the YMCA where EO works, and he called me back. I met him at his house.
I'll PM you his info.

Hey Alan, Ernie was excited when I told him I met you and had attended the gathering in Keyport. As soon as he knew that, he said let's call Alan.Originally posted by Speedbag View PostGlad you got to meet E.O. Sorry I was not home when you called.
He is a great guy, with a storied background. He told me all about his experiences and his trip over seas - showed me his scrapbook too!
It was great to spend some "hanging and banging" time with him. He's quite a colorful character (I mean that in the most respectful way).
Too bad we missed you that morning.

Thanks.
I think the only one that would agree with that statement is my wife (and I'm not too sure about her).

Too bad you couldn't get him to make a Pizza for you. When I stayed at his house he made pizza one night for dinner. It was awesome.Originally posted by Biff View PostHey Alan, Ernie was excited when I told him I met you and had attended the gathering in Keyport. As soon as he knew that, he said let's call Alan.
