Barry (or to whom this may conern,

I am looking for records on Donald Cleve Williams, who was a welterweight. He was incarcerated from 1991 to 1999, from my understanding. I am writing a biography on him and wondering if you could help me with any boxing records, or any records for that matter.

Thank you for any help you can offer. My email address is ***@gmail.com

I'm a news reporter doing a story on the Oregon State Penitentiary's

soon-to-be

eliminated boxing program. Two inmates I interviewed told me they were

former

pro fighters, Chris Lange (middleweight, 1973-85) and Donny Fosmire (not

sure

of weight class or years as a pro).
Does anyone have information on these two from an old copy of the Fight

Fax

book or any other way of passing along factual info on their careers?
Also, anyone with insight or info on prison boxing -- why it's a great

thing or

a not-so-great thing, why so many fighters seem to end up doing time in

the

joint, etc. would be great. Either post response or email me at
Thanks

Donnie Fosmire was a Featherweight who fought between 1982-1991.
Following two threads, Barry has posted Donnie's and Chris's records.
