My avatar is my grandfather's 1st cousin, Ray Miller, who was the #1 ranked lightweight contender in 1929 (made the cover of Ring in April 1929) and is the only man to KO HOFer Jimmy McLarnin. He was later a very well regarded referee in NY and was included as one of two referees in the 1951 Ringside set.





Another cousin was lightweight Bennie Berris, who was a club level fighter who drew with HOFer Young Corbett III in one fight.
