Hi,
I am Evelyn (Copson) Kellett from Langhorne, Pa. I have enclosed two pictures. One of the Copson brothers who
went on to be professional fighters and one, of my dad who chose not to continue.

The Fighters are Young Chappy, Al Markie and Jimmy Mack. The single photo is that of my dad Bobbie Copson who when he did fight, fought under the name of Bobby Mack. All of the boys were abandoned by their father Charles J. Copson.
The were placed in different homes later to be found and raised by their step-father Christian Mack who the boys
greatly admired.
We lived the in Kensington section of Philadelphia and moved to the Bucks County area in 1951. My dad married
Anna Rose and raised four children. Loretta, Evelyn, Robert (decd) and Thomas. While living in Philadelphia
my dad worked at Artloom Carpet Company.
I am presently in touch with cousins from each of the Copson Family of Fighters by doing the family genealogy
We are all sharing information and hope to complete my project by meeting them. If any one has any information
I would be very grateful to receive it.
Thanks,
Evie (Copson) Kellett
