This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ea.2ADI/706 Message Board Post: Does anyone in the Macon area remember boxer Jeff Merritt, a heavyweight contender in the 1970's. He was supposedly born in Macon in 1946 according to one source, but I was hoping to get some confirmation from someone in the area where he was born. Does anyone from Jeff's family still live around there? Its for my dissertation research. Jeff is apparently living in Vegas these day but I have been unable to track him down there. Hope someone can help! Andrew Lindsay
