Joe Frazier signs an autograph for a Beaufort fan

The morning after receiving the Order of the Palmetto from Gov. Mark Sanford, Smoking Joe Frazier sat down for some coffee, breakfast and a heaping portion of fan adoration over at City Java & News.

A strong crowd turned out to greet the champ, who offered up several stories about how different Beaufort County was when he grew up here.

All in all the champ looked great and seemed excited to meet all those who took the time to come out to meet him.
