Hi Nick, I grew up with your father John. How is he doing? I use to hear from him on email, but haven’t heard from him in a few months. Take care

I grew up in Lowell in the projects. I used to see Micky in the seedier bars of Lowell. Of course, I was in them too. I am happy to see someone who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks make good. Good for him. I hope Dickie is staying clean. Life is too short man.

I know for a fact that they are filming this movie in Lowell, MASS this coming week. on 14th, 15th and 16th. They are using a gym on Johns street and doing an open extra filming at the Tsongas arena, and not to mention filming a scene in the dead center of what was crack-ville to get the realistic feel of the problems with the upbringing in the drug laden area.

I was friends with Mickey Johnny and David in the 7th through 9th grade. I always looked up to Mick who knew at a young age what he wanted to do. He was the first i called when i arrived in jacksonville for my honeymoon. Now a father of three and 11 years from retirement living in south georgia and hope i can reunite with those guys one day. p.s. dickey and k.o. i will always remember with their funny expressions like “theodore” and “fur’ and “prick”

There is no doubt that this will be a great movie. Don’s right, Ward vs Gatti 1 was the best fight I also have ever seen. Mark Wahlberg is a great choice to play Micky. I lived in South Boston and Dorchester and got to know Mark’s brother Jimbo, a great guy who helped me greatly when I needed to move out of Lowell. This movie will have it all, Dickie will also be a big part of this movie.
