Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Blond-haired, short-statured Walter Haliwell, known as "Wally Hally", seemed an unlikely boxer, but with the help of coach Jerry Pelton has proved remarkably successful, and has received trepidation but ultimately love and support from his minister father in his choice of career. Wally and his coach Jerry Pelton sit grinning on Wally's front stoop. Story related to the photograph appears with the article, "Wally Hally Heading for Boxing Heights," Los Angeles Times, 19 Jan 1936: A10. Text from negative sleeve: 3325 - Wally Hally w/family (see 1/19/36 article) Box Fighter - ("Alhambra's Blond Bomber" "The Salvation Army Kid" local amateur turned pro) [stamped:] Jan 23 1936
