Gene Lewis Boxing Club

For 20 minutes, i have been trying to explain to Gene Lewis why I want to write a story on him, but the 80-year-old isn't budging. He continually lifts his glasses to rub his eyes. The thought of being portrayed in a sports magazine does not faze him. There's a past in his face. There's a past in his eyes. Five lifetimes in those eyes; a world weariness fit for a blues song, You want to do a story on me? Why? I am nothin' special.
