1. James Quick TIllis - Recently recieved some award for life time acheivement, but don't know the details. Apparently, he and Earnie Shavers are very good friends and SHavers was at Tillis's house when he received the award. Tillis also has a daughter who plays in the WNBA women's pro basketball organization.

2. Tim Witherspoon promotes and manages his younger relatives boxing careers.

3. Pinklon Thomas has apparently been clean for several years, and works with troubled youth and helps them through drug problems and other issues.

4. Bonecrusher Smith, the last time I heard was a succesful business man who either owns or owned some insurance offices in the north Carolina area, but that was years ago that I heard or read this.

5. Mike Dokes- was serving a jail sentence as of a few years ago and still had drug problems. I guess he beat the shit out of his wife or something as well.

Don't know about the rest.
