    Fantastic news piece!

    Shows that it could be done no matter what the age. I'm hitting the bags as soon as I hit Submit Reply. Life is good.

      You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

      Nice use of the bow shackle on the swivel.

      Good stuff!

        If you like what he does with a Bow Shackle you'll love what he does to a Pizza. He's a retired Italian Chef. Let me tell ya, when EO makes you dinner, it's a meal you won't forget! Ernie is one of the true original speed bag personalities that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I wish every bagger could meet him. I'd love to get him, Showtime Johnny Pal and George Kam together. Now that would be a night to remember.

          That was great, very inspirational. I hope I'm still hitting the bag at age 81. Sarasota is not that far from here, I intend to get down there one of these days...

            Love a good carpaccio of any description.

            I hope you wouldn't mind me knocking on the door, or should I say 'sincopating' on your door, on that night.

                    Thanks, Alan. Another great piece on Ernie. How did you happen across it? Does EO stay in contact with you?

                    Amen! I hope I'm still on the right side of the ground.

                    Tim, my next trip down to FL will include a ride to Sarasota and/or Lake City. It would be great to meet Ernie and Zach.

                      Yes, his wife and sons email me all the time about what he's doing. (EO himself is not a techie...) We also speak by phone occassionally.
