I am from Oakland, and there is a bar on E.14th St, now Martin Luther King Blvd, called
Pappy's Bar. There was a famous boxer (don't know his name) who hung out there.
There was also a man who was a trainer, and sparred or worked out with Bruce Lee. I think
is name may have been Butch There were many old timers who hung out there at the time for
the information you are seeking. Many were still around when I was occasionally dropping
by that bar back in the 1990's, I know that the bar has sense changed hands, but it
had also changed hands once from the time that Bruce Lee was around to the time I was
going there. So you may want to check Pappy's Bar, in Oakland, Ca. E 14th St. and ask
them if they may know or could put you in contact with someone who possibly can.
