Although Dick and Bill Miske are both in their seventies, they vividly recall the family Christmas story that becomes more and more important to them with each passing year. Neither of them was even born in 1923, when their grandfather, heavyweight contender and 2010 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee  Billy Miske, surprised his family with, among other things, a baby grand piano and a new couch and chair to complement their modest but loving home during some tough financial times.
