LAX 1972...
On our way from New Zealand to England in 1972. We stopped at Los Angeles , California. My Dad spotted the then British Boxer Joe Bugner and asked if we could have our photo taken with him. Joe was returning to Britain after signing the contract to Fight Muhammad Ali for the Heavyweight Boxing championship of the world. My Dad asked a man who was with Joe if he could take a photo for him ? and asked if he knew how to use the camera ? Joe laughed and said "yep he (the other man) knows a bit about cameras. And so he took this photo. turns out the man who took the photo was Monte Fresco and yes he knew a bit about cameras..... and me in the middle... I didnt know who any of them were :-) but it was a piece of history I suppose...
