After writing this I decided to research Grandad's boxing career. I found that on June 19 of 1915 he fought Benny Leonard, the Lightweight Champion of the World. He lost on a TKO in the 7th round. He was a medical student at the time and went on to become an MD. Interestingly my dad was born 9 months and 4 days after the fight. So Grandma was either pregnant or about to become that way.
