MB, You gotta thank FUNK and I'll take this oppertunity to thank him and the other picture and story posters also.
I gotta agree with your comments about the younger generation, but when I was a part of that younger generation, I think I felt likewise.
In fact there is only one cousin in my family who has any interest in our family geneology.
She got as far back as about 400years ago and discovered tha she was related to that original English FISH and CHIPS fast food chain that was so popular years ago which is another name I have forgotten.
But one interesting 'geneoloical' "Way Back" (Sorry, Mr. Peabody!) story is often told at family reunions whiich I think I have mentioned earlier ... Most of my family members are heavy drinkers so this story usually ends up with what some of us saner ones call the annual family Indian War Dance
It was either my great or great-great or great-great-great grandmother that had a Pow- Wow with a Cherokee in a Tee-Pee on her way out west.
But that ancient Pow Wow did not qualify me to receive some of the US Government wam-pum that others of my tribe receive each and every new moon.
So that was about the extent of my previous lifetime interest and I think most young'uns feel somewhat similar. That old saying, "Young and dumb and full of .....!" will never change no matter how many generation follow this present one.
Oh yea, some others (or maybe it was just one) came to the US fron England via Austrailia ... Definitely some of Europe's best criminals if those traits continue down through the generations.
And ... I've known Bill for a good number of years now, but only met Harry once and at one time was a good friiend of Solo ElFenzy. (You probably met solo or Rob Johnson or Bouvier if you trained with Bill in Pasadena. Good people - all! Jail-time or not!)
One thing about Bill, once he meets you ... he never forgets your name. And the last I heard, he's still training every morning before the sun comes up,.
And Larry Scott... I still think he's one of the best bodybuilders I've ever met... He and Nubret are among the best of all time as far as my thoughts go.
Larry is the only bodybuilder who put on a seminar that held my total and complete interest. I'll tell you how he did it if there is any interest.
Thanks for kick'en my memory brain cells, MD ... the few that still remain.
