There's a print someplace on line identifying each and every person in that photo.

How many people in that photo have passed away since it was taken?

I can see Mike and Ray and Ron Teufel

ANd there was another photo shot with Pete more up towards the front.

Those were the "Bestest of the Best Days of Bodybuilding".

Unless it's a nickname, I'm figuring #30 is Manuel (Manny) Perry, not Manual.

Damn - this is a great thread ! I'm really enjoying reading thru it. These are all the guys who were around when I was growing up and competeing. They all look like they are supposed to look - not like the guys of today with all the oil shot into laggin bodyparts and insulin... etc . . You really think about it the "sport" has just degenerated.

Anyway - keep up the great posts guys. It's pretty cool to read all the old stories and memories posted here.

THX, RS
