 road to the  BC aMATEUR bOXING hALL of fAME
by Brian Zelley

The Intro

Canadian amateur and professional boxing has a rich history with many 
champions including one that is not included in the above
parade of photos and that name is the one they  call
Geronimo Bie

By all account Geronimo should be
 an inductee for the +British Columbia and 
Canadian
Amateur Boxing Hall or Wall of Fame
but things do not always do as they should.

So over the next ten or so months
an effort will be made to get Geronimo Bie

nominated and selected  to the
BC Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015


Golden Moments and Memories
Various folks far and wide have 
positive memories of Geronimo
over time some of the positives 
will be added


Kai Yip" "He should be in the boxing Hall of Fame"

Boyd Bayne has nominated Geronimo
for the 2015 selection for the
BC Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame

JodyWadsworth:
"My prayers go out to Geronimo Bie. 
May GOD watch
over you and take you 
on the right path"
