ISRAEL

BAR-BAT MITZVAH & FAMILY TOURS

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebrated in Israel is a very special
experience for the entire family. During my 10 years as an
Israeli tour guide, it was my pleasure and privilege to
pioneer in the development of this program.
Now, as a tour operator for 8 years, I personally plan every
detail, select the guide, arrange the ceremony on Masada,
a special service at Yad Va-shem, a beautiful banquet din-
ner, and much more . .
For a vacation you will never forget, come with me to Israel.

later to unheralded Ramon
Ronquillo, looking shaky
from beginning to end before
being stopped in the sixth
round. Many boxing experts
felt that the Ronquillo loss
marked the end of
Rossman's career, although
he was only 23 years old.
"He was beaten so badly,"
said syndicated sportswriter
Jerry Izenberg. "The hand-
writing was on the wall. He
fell apart in the dressing
room afterwards. It seemed
like his will to fight ended
right there."
Although Rossman won
his next four bouts, he failed
against up-and-coming
Dwight Braxton in May
1981, stopped after seven
rounds.
"He was shot by then,"
said Rob Lawin, who
covered boxing for the
Newark (NJ.) Star-Ledger.
After the Braxton loss,
Rossman "retired" for
about a year and a half. He
returned to the ring and won
four fights in 1983, but his
career was essentially over.
He finished with a mark of
44-7-3 with 27 KOs.
By this time, Rossman's
step-father, Jimmy DiPiano,
had passed away. Their rela-
tionship was stormy
throughout the fighter's ca-
reer, with DiPiano often be-
ing criticized for changing
Rossman's fighting style
and damaging his career.
In 1977, at the urging of
DiPiano, the boxer became
the banger. Carmen Gra-
ziano was out as trainer, and
Slim Robinson was in.
"Mike never improved,"
insisted Rossman's former
manager, Vinny Carlesimo.
"Despite the fact that
Rossman won the champi-
onship with Robinson in his
corner, he was never the
same fighter. Robinson was
a good trainer, but for the
type of fighter Mike was,
Carmen was perfect."
According to Carlesimo,
the change in trainers looked
good short term, but "had
he stayed with Carmen,
there was a very good
chance that he would have
gone a little further. Chang-
ing his style hurt him."
"Rossman was a tremen-
dous boxer," offered
Izenberg. "He had a lot of
natural instincts. He had a
fine jab. Then they decided
that the way for him to
make the big money was to
go for knockouts. They
turned him around and
turned him into a banger.
That probably had a tre-
mendous effect on his art-
istic ability. They should
have let him get better with
what he had. They really
