    I personally miss all three Booker , Hardy & Jarvis. It was alot easier to compete with them compared to the new blood . They kicked my ass almost every time out but there was always the chance i could catch them on an off day and pull one out. Booker and Jarvis would always take turns winning titles and for a good stretch end of 2003 to midpoint of 2004 it was basically the Ed Jarvis show. Hardy would usually run a close second or third. When Sonya came along the Jarvis show came to an end.

    Growing up with Ed “Cookie” Jarvis was once in a lifetime adventure!
    I remember back in the early 80’s we went to Mexico and Cook was all dress-up to go jogging. I ask him if he wanted to go to lunch first,he said no thanks “i want to go run”. I took a taxie and hour later to a supermarket that had a buffet. Sure enough there he was ~larger than life~ at that bar!!! Now you can imagine this giant in a land of basicly small people. Wish i had my camera!! May God Bless this man!!
