Walvoord Celebrates 90th Birthday

David Randall Walvoord who once reportedly “won” the Middle Weight Championship of the World against Robert Villemain in 1951 (see accompanying link) turned 90-years-old today.

David was born February 27, 1931 in Racine, Wisconsin. In December 2020, just before Christmas, his entire progeny, gathered in Amarillo, Texas during a world-wide pandemic, in-person in a socially-distanced and masked birthday party (masks were removed for photos).

The Walvoord family also celebrated their mom’s/grandmother’s (Peggy Walvoord’s) 87th birthday at the same gathering.

Here are some photos of the family from the party:
