BILL TREEST: ONE OF JIM'S BOYS
Robert Coughlan
January 24, 1955
Among the first fighters managed by James D. Norris
Jr., who now says he never managed any, was Bill Treest. Charles Caustin, left
in picture at top, discovered Treest (third from left). When the young
heavyweight began to attract attention, Norris took him over (clipping, right).
He had the glamour picture above made while fighting for Norris; today he works
as a barber in Tempe, Ariz. (right).
