ANOTHER ROUND OF STORIES

* Beyond the stories in the main blogs, there have been
a variety of special interest stories.

 Understanding the Art and Science:
Part of the process of writing stories is to 
understand the sport and all of the technical issues
such as reported in the Art and Science blog.

began in 1983 with various pieces in the 
"Vancouver Island Amateur Boxing News" and would 
continue with the "BC Amateur Boxing news

 to document some of this stuff, i created a blog:
