In his corner Terence “Bud” Crawford was growing up hard on the mean streets of north Omaha. After meeting and working with Midge Minor, a local veteran boxing trainer, Crawford has become one of the professional fight game’s rising stars, sporting a 21-0 record. Leo Adam Biga takes an in-depth look at the special bond Crawford and Minor have developed inside and outside the ring. See page 10.
War stories Garry Knittel, Bob Cole, and Warren Malloy (left to right) served in the 172nd Transportation Company during the Vietnam War. These days, all three men work for ENOA’s Meals on Wheels program. Using 8 mm film footage and hundreds of slides, Knittel produced a DVD, The Journey, that tells the unit’s story from Nebraska to southeast Asia and back. See page 16.
