GREETINGS In behalf of Veteran Boxers Association - Ring No. 6, I wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the help and cooperation we have received through the years. We are celebrating our 13th Annual Banquet and it is gratifying to know that we are progressing steadily forward, for the Veteran Boxers and for the good of our city in which we live. We are a non-profit organization, our past and present is a matter of record, we have worked and our contribution was greatly appreciated by the Drop-a-Buck Club; we sponsor a team in the Morgan Village Little League; last year we fared four buses of boys over to the Phillies ball park; we take care of our own when they are down, and work to curb juvenile delinquency, for our motto is "One For All - All For One". Tonight we are doing honor to one of our own - a Camden boy - Frankie Conway. I wish to thank the chairman of this banquet, Lew Skymer and two co-chairmen, Frankie Rapp and Pee Wee Ross and the rest of the committee for a job well-done. I also like to thank our advertisers, patrons, boosters and everyone that has lent their assistance to make this affair a success. So let us break bread, have joy and merriment, and hope you all have a happy time, and that we may all look forward to meeting again in the future. Thanks to you all from all of us, JOE (Kid) MURPHY President, Ring No. 6

Biography of Frankie Conway, Our Man of the Year, page 6 of the 1961 banquet program
Veteran Boxers Association Ring No. 6, May 7, 1961
View transcription
"OUR MAN OF THE YEAR" Our Guest of Honor, Frankie Conway was born in Camden on November 3, 1900 and in his pre-teen days when he wasn't selling newspapers down at the Pennsylvania Ferry, he was either playing on one of the city playgrounds, or boxing with the neighborhood kids in some back yard, or in the street. At the age of fifteen, after having a dozen or so amateur bouts, Frankie boxed his first professional bout with Kid Dougherty at the Douglas A. C. in Philadelphia and after six tough rounds he received the handsome sum of $5.00. Now Frankie thought that was better and much quicker than selling papers. He sometimes didn't earn that much in a week standing outside in all kinds of weather. So Frankie embarked on a boxing career that took him from one town to another meeting the top contenders in both the bantamweight and featherweight classes. Among some of his bouts were the rough and tough Whitey Fitzgerald, Benny Valger, Harry "Kid" Brown, Bennie Kauffman, Battling Murray, Frankie Jerome, Maxie Williamson and the Gloucester blacksmith, K. O. Joe O'Donnell (a few of these old timers are here tonight). After almost ten years of boxing and close to 200 bouts and in the early part of 1924, Frankie was not yet 24 years old, when he had the misfortune of losing the sight in his left eye, and shortly after, the same happened to his right eye. Several operations by the best eye specialists in New York proved futile. But Frankie didn't give up . . . being young and ambitious, he tried his hand in the cafe and night club business and today he is the proud owner of the 11 O'Clock Club at 18 West Cuthbert Boulevard in Westmont. The petite gal that you see with him constantly is his lifetime manager, trainer and wife who before she became Mrs. Conway, was the former Maude B. Stiles. Also here tonight are his two sisters, Mrs. Louise Ricciardelli of Westmont and Mrs. Della Uhorchek of Trenton and brother Tony, also of Westmont. And this in brief, is the story of our Honorary President, the Champion of Champions. Yes, we of V. B. A. - Ring No. 6, are indeed proud and greatly gratified to have you Frankie Conway as "OUR MAN OF THE YEAR - 1961". God Bless You!

We Remember When . . . Your names are on our Clubhouse wall under the word "Deceased". At every meeting your names are read aloud while we stand in a moment of silence to your memory. You were a paid up member when you retired from this life. You may be the fellow who said we couldn't last. The one who paid his dues faithfully, whose job would not permit him to attend our meetings. The chap with all the ideas, who, was too busy to serve on any committee. The quiet fellow with the pipe, who was always willing to help. Or the guy who was sure to jump up and say, "I'm against it, it won't work!" but he put forth every effort to make sure it did work, because it was for the good of the organization. The member who always promised to do it, but didn't always get around to it. You may have been the champ or the preliminary boy. The good member, faithful in attendance and always ready to help. The lax one who would come around once in a while. Big man in the community, small fish in a big pond but we who remain standing say . . .
