Description

On this episode of Our American Stories, as a kid wandering the hallways of Miami’s fight scene, Patti Kingsbaker thought she had seen everything. Then she spotted Frank Sinatra walking in as her father prepared to referee a heavyweight title match. Patti’s chance at an autograph disappeared behind a wall of security, and the disappointment stayed with her until she finally wrote Sinatra a letter. What happened next blew her mind. Patti joins us to share this "knockout" Frank Sinatra story!
