The Champ Sparring with the Congressman, 1997
Remembering a truly lovely man and great sports icon, Muhammad Ali, the three-time world heavyweight boxing champion, who died today at age 74.
When my daughters were little, they adored The Champ--and as you can see from these photos of them with him, the affection was reciprocated.
