Lord and GLowboy, You guys are correct on Dave Dupree in both cases. Anyone know how to contact him?
Correct on Billy Smith and Richard Baldwin too.
Negative on Jon Aranita, Dan-O.
Glowboy, not sure about RObert Smith but that is definitely NOT Joe Nazario who was a great friend many years ago before we lost contact.
Yes on Eddie Love and not sure about Mike Arnold.
The International winner is not Andreas. It is Bob Birdsong who was definitely one solid mass of muscle back then.
As a side, it is interesting to note that most of the guys back then stayed in great and solid shape all year round and a small waist was critical for winning contests. When Bob won the International, he was exceptionally great.
The young guy with Arnold and Dave in the trees is a frend of mine who used to train with Ed Corney at Ed's Gym in Fremont, California. He won a few contests but don't ask me which ones because I don't remember. He and Arnold hung out for a week of adventures while Arnold was stuck in Hawaii until he managed to get a return flight home... long story there.
Glow, I believe you are correct about the Vranicar brothers too. Whatever happened to them?
