Those pics harken back to a day when bodybuilding was an expression of health and fitness, not the drug addled freak show it is, today.

Timmy and Tommy Kona both treated me with respect and supported everything I did.  Timmy had a small gym upstairs off of Ward St. for a long time.  It closed down once 24 Hour Fitness came in and the market changed on Oahu.  It was like stepping back into the 60's when you went there.

Tommy Kono is a great weightlifter and bodybuilder.He visited here Taiwan 30 years ago and give me some instructions when I was 20s.
