Dave Johns .... 70's. He received his overall trophy from the hands of Mae West who was escorted on stage by Bert Goodrich who said. "Pardon us, but can we pass by you." .... and a very old lady became Mae West.

Dave Rogers... Trained at Doc Neely's (70's)

If I recall correctly, Dave was always considered one of the main contenders to beat when he entered the nationals, but his legs held him back and the judges appeared to be awarding titles to competitors with more MASS

This seemed to be around the time when small waist size became relatively unimportant and the classic look slowly faded away.

But Dave was the overall winner in the AAU 1977 Junior Mr USA and the overall winner of the AAU Mr USA in 1980.

Good friend, Joe Nazzario. Another classical look. (More like 'semi-classical')

RONNIE TEUFEL .... Ron received a lot of great magazine coverage but he was treated like shit when he came out to Gold's (Santa Monica) to enter the America. Even back then, jealousy reigned.

I saw Dave Johns win the 1976 (?) Mr. Western America at some high school in San Diego. At least I think that is the title and oddly enough Musclememory doesn't have it listed in his catalog of wins. I thought he was great but there were more than a few in the audience that thought even more of Szkalak.

Don Howorth is another great physique as is actor Bill Smith. Pederson was fantastic and if you've ever had the chance to visit Leo Stern's gym (I used to train there in the 70s) it was filled with excellent photographs of all time greats. Plus, there were caricatures of notable gym members up on the wall. Great memories of a great gym. Leo was the man as is Bill Pearl.

REEVES! At one time or another I met them all except for Pedersen and I visited Stern's Gym a couple of times while I was stationed at Camp Pendleton and have known Bill since way back then. But I don't recall ever having met Leo. I think he hung out with an older crowd.

In the mid 60's Howorth had a huge set of shoulders and always wore cardigan sweaters when he dressed up. Those were the good old days when Gene Mozee would always show up with the greatest looking lady in Hollywood and the proceed to MC the contests.

I still communicate with Gene frequently but have not made contact these past few months so I'll give him a call for a SoCal update and post it on this board.

Let me know if you have ay questions about the old timers because Gene is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the early days of BB.

I knew Dave Johns pretty well too and gotta say the he was one hell of a great guy.

That is what men should look like. Thanks!

Speaking of Mozee and Eder, here is Mozee on Eder - http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2009/03/marvin-eder-gene-mozee.html.

REEVES, thanks for that Mozee article.

Here's a Marvin Eder shot taken off that same site for those too damn lazy to click away.

I don't recall ever meeting Eder.

One of my early inspirations......Charle s Amato,with Chuck "The Gopher" Collras on the left.

Another of my old time favorite guys was Mike Dayton:

Another guy I used to see as a kid at Ed Jubinvilles contests at Mt. Park Amusement Center in Holyoke Mass. was the great Leon Brown...........years later it was an honor to meet and compete in the same contest with him

The back shots of Leon were used in the book Pumping Iron which I am in too in an audience scene as a young skinny ass kid..........now I`m an old skinny ass kid

This pic was taken at The East Coast in Holyoke.........that day Leon took the title and every single best bodypart award as well as Most Muscular.

A then relatively unknown Louie Ferrigno backed out of the show after hearing Leon was in it.

That was the first time I saw Lou and he was humongous but at 175 Leon would have killed him.

WES, your Jim Haislop shot did not get posted and it deservidly should be included.

Here is Jim Haislop ....

Is he still among the living?

wes · « **Reply #45 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:52:01 PM »

Stunt,I heard he was a teacher and still living in Florida .

stuntmovie · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:54:19 PM »

Rick Wayne's column in one of the Weider pubs was once the only article worth reading back then.

Thanks, Wes! Good to hear that about Jim, but who was the Florida bodybuilder who looked somewhat like Haislop who was kiilled in an auto accident sometime around that same period.

You had Scott Cooper and Gene Massey who was killed in a small plane crash coming back from a contest.

He always flew with a pilot friend of his to compete.

wes · « **Reply #48 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:00:46 PM »

To clarify,Massey died in the crash.......Cooper was not with him, and could still be living today.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #49 on:** June 11, 2011, 08:05:15 PM »

WES, Thanks, I think I've been getting Cooper mixed up with Hatslip due to a similar pullup shot taken back then..

Two shots of Cooper and one of Massey below
