The only thing that held him back was that he was with Dan Lurie instead of Weider.

Nope.  It's due primarily to Wes being a genuine man.  Men don't want to look at photographs like that, but fags do.
Get it?  Got it? Good. 

As for Dave Johns, he had an excellent physique.  I believe he lost to Kal Szkalak in the Mr. California and later the "A", but I think Dave's physique was the better of the two.   Just look at how Johns stands up to his full height in the side chest pose.  He doesn't squat down like a retard about to take a dump.  Fuck the noise of current bodybuilding.

The other Dave in those photos, Dave Draper, is an all time great and a good man.

COach, Apparently you and I have mutual friends from back then. I was a friend of Dave's for a short time just prior to his death and when he passed away the cause of his death was some sort of mystery and initially referred to as Legionaire's Disease for some long forgotten reason .... but if I recall correctly Dave had gotten sick after attending some function where Legionaires were  gathered for some form of convention ..... and for lack of a better diagnostic, it was initially referred to as Legionaire's Disease.

And I also knew Dave Shawn through Dave Johns and will always remember him (And Dave) as two of the better persons I've met within the weight lifting world. At that time Dave Shaw held a responsible position in Cal working with troubled kids if I recall correctly ... and did a commendable job.

COACH .. I assume you knew SOLO, Rob Johnson, Wayne Bouvier, Harold, Judy, etc. and most definitely RORY back then when he was a real young kid.

Those were good days when the world of bodybuilding was nothing like it is today.
