"Big Joe Wright" (my father) was Kalamazoo, Michigans leading sports radio personality from 1949 thru the 1980's. He interviewed thousands of sports figures in this period on tape and I have been working (when time permits) on converting them to digital format. This interview was made with Joe Louis in Kalamazoo at a golf outing. This was his first announcement that he was coming out of retirement to fight again.
