en I think I would have to go so far as to say Russell is Jim Braddock. I'm amazed the way Russell picked up his mannerisms, his smoothness, the legs, the way he slides, that slip, slide, block, slide, jab - boom! Like Jim, he has just about the greatest left hook I've ever seen. He's got the speed, the rhythm, the determination and especially the will. Best of all, he has learned to think like a fighter. One thing about Braddock is that he was a smart fighter, and Russell uses his noodle just like Braddock did. He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. I do think if he wasn't an actor, Russell could have been a great fighter.

en First, we created a map and driving guide of Braddock's Road, which follows the route that his army took from Fort Necessity to Braddock. We published 10,000 of these maps and distributed most of them through Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau sites, county welcome sites, and through the Westmoreland County Federated Library System.

en I liked everything I read about Braddock, ... I liked who he was before he was a champion, who he was when he was a champion and who he was afterwards, too. I liked the fact that his otherwise very simple life had this incredible zeitgeist flair in the middle of it and afterwards he just kept working, bringing up his children and loving his wife. For me, it's the story of how one family survived the Depression. Braddock died in 1974 in the same house that he had bought in 1935 with his winnings from the world championship and where he had seen his kids grow up and his grandchildren born.

en Beating Lake Braddock has been one of our goals since we started the program. We needed to play well on both sides of the ball to win and we did.

en The story of Jim Braddock continues to be so incredibly stirring because it is a tale that reminds us of just how remarkable human endurance and the power of love can be,

en Braddock's road, this brilliant thrust into the wilderness, became the road for people moving into the frontier.

en The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has a number of Braddock markers in Allegheny and Fayette counties, but none in Westmoreland. We applied for a PAHMC marker but were turned down. So we put up our own marker on Main Street in Mt. Pleasant, which we dedicated.

en Jim had to go on the dole, but he didn't wear the pain on his sleeve, ... He accepted it and kept trying to do the best he could for his family. The Great Depression is a character, and I think the villain in this piece is poverty. If there's a single moment in Braddock's life that I think makes him important in history, it's the fact that he went to the Social Security Commission and repaid the money he'd taken when he was on the dole. That shows you more about his character than anything in his boxing career.

en I never saw Jim as a man who really lived for boxing at all. To me, the story was interesting because of his change of fortune. I thought, 'This is a great story, because it's true. You couldn't make it up.' Braddock had been a very responsible young man when he was doing well as a boxer. He'd saved his money, he hadn't wasted it. He hadn't lived outside his means. He did the thing everybody said to do at the time, which was to invest his money in the stock market. And in October 1929, he lost 85 per cent of his total net worth and was brought to the brink of bankruptcy. Suffice it to say, things turned bad.
