Lobo Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I remember listening to the fight. Alos as I recall Father Wade, philosophy instructor at SLU, knew Sonny Liston somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Very possible since Liston was from St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Now I remember, Fr. Wade and Liston met at a halfway house in St.L and Liston felt that Fr Wade was somehow instrument in helping him get his life together. I also remember Fr. Wade saying that Sonny sent him tickets to the fight. Don't remember if Fr. Wade used the tickets, but I think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
