Mr Finley was no-nonsense gym owner and was full of stories of the history of DC boxing. I got along great w/Mr Finley because I adhered to his rules, paid my gym dues on time and loved to listen to his stories. I miss him and love him for providing a place for me and so many others to go and train. What memories!<br /><br />RyanRyannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14955621.post-19532981532678656642014-01-29T16:24:55.908-05:002014-01-29T16:24:55.908-05:00Very nice man R.I.P.Very nice man R.I.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14955621.post-73105687227377379642014-01-29T09:29:20.467-05:002014-01-29T09:29:20.467-05:00Very nice man & a DC boxing legend.
