Is he still alive if so looks like he needs to go to work for Lizard Lick Towing in NC.

meeko took his own life several years ago, he went through some tough times . his wife[cousin of matt millen the nfler] attacked him and almost killed him with an iron frying pan. then he got lymes disease....

there's also another book about muscle beach called muscle beach by marla matzer rose.

I was completely unaware of Joe Meeko's history. ANother bodybuilder who died way too young.

In one of these posts I'll tell a story about a good friend of mine who committed suicide during his very early 20's leaving a young wife and child behind.

He won a teen bodybuilding event in Cal and was picked to be one of the major contenders in the top contests back then, so his story may be appropriate to post on this board later if I change the name of those involved.

Next up ... Karjo and Hannu Selin.... Two of my favorite people within the Bodybuilding World ......

No one has a better time in this game than Hannu. And he goes for the laughs in all his routines. Marjo and Hannu ... two of my favorite people .... and they don't even read this I betcha!

dreher was a beast i always thought he should have beaten tim belknap for overall aau mr america.course that's my opinion.

FUNK, If that was the contest which was held at Caesars in Las Vegas, I was there and also questioned Belnap's win ....... but just a little bit though.

I believe that was hte same year in which Jeff and COry Everson won the couples. ANd the same contest at which Cory slid out of Jeff's grip while in the over-head position.

Apparently they never practiced their routine while drenched in baby oil.

HEADING OUT TO SEE THAT NEW TYPE "MEN IN BLACK" MOVIE WHICH COMES OUT TODAY.... DDON'T HAVE THE NAME OF IT BUT IT'S THAT ONE ABOUT THE DEAD COPS RETURNING TO COMBAT CRIME AMONG THE DEAD BAD GUYS ... or something like that.

Sad these guys were very smart Ray died a day after Mike.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #613 on:** July 19, 2013, 07:10:20 PM »

I bet there is only one person on this boar who can name the first AAU Mr America title holder and the year it was won.

Take a guess within your own mind before reading the attached photo.

Second shot is Gary and Alyse Strydom taken .....?

Alyse looks like a very young Cory E.
