Dear Friends,
It is with deep sorrow that I write with the news that the great
wrestling historian JIM MELBY died this (Sunday)
morning at home.
Jim was a second-to-none expert on classic 'golden age' pro
wrestling. Known well as a journalist and editor
during the 1970s, Jim and Norm Kietzer published The Wrestling News,
Wrestling Revue, Ring Wrestling, and
wrestling programs for just about every major wrestling promotion of
the era.
His health condition did not in any way detract from his love and
dedication to pro wrestling. Last year, it was my
honor to publish his first of many scheduled books, "Gopherland
Grappling - The History of Pro Wrestling In Minnesota, The Early Years."
We were working on a secondMinnesota
this Spring.
Jim's passion for wrestling can't be denied. We have lost one of us.

New Book- “Apartment 4BBrooklyn ” Relives Turbulent 1960s-1970s
Autobiographical short story collection, “Apartment 4BBrooklyn , New York
And in the middle of it stood a child and his pals.
In this autobiographical short story collection, Evan Ginzburg looks back at growing up in the racially changing East Flatbush, Brooklyn of the 1960s and 1970s. From the beautiful friendships he made to the dangers and humiliations he faced, these gritty street tales will keep readers enthralled. With stories ranging from nostalgic to heart-rending, he pulls no punches as he looks back at a Brooklyn that is now lost forever.
“We read several tales on the air and they’re funny, poignant and most certainly memorable,” stated New York DJ Fred Geobold, of 50,000 watt WBAI-FM’s Light Show in New York City
“Apartment 4B, Like In Brooklyn: With the same enthusiasm and humor that
makes his zine Wrestling Then And Now such a treat, Evan Ginzburg
chronicles his childhood as one of the last Jewish kids in Brooklyn's
Flatbush neighborhood in the '70s. Our protagonist endures constant
bullying and defines himself through games, pranks, friendships, family,
soul music, and his beloved wrestlers. As a character, he's seldom
heroic but always reflective and resilient. As a narrator, Ginzburg
maintains his friendly tone while revealing the horrors and conflicts of
his time and place in their full, agonizing glory. Great stuff. Evan
