Pellius, if I recall correctly, you are a Mentzerite.
So am I.
I believe we are on exactly the same page.
Mentzer was my inspiration when I was in my late teens and early twenties. I use to see him all the time in the early 1990s at Gold's and he always remembered my name. He didn't live that far from me as we both live in Redondo Beach. I never saw him out and about but would often see his brother, Ray. I had a feeling Mike didn't go out in public much. You'd see Ray at the mall or at El Polo Loco Chicken. That was one of his, and my, favorite places.
When I was working as a security guard at a condo right after high school. There was a guy name, Hank Grudman, who lived there who just opened up a Nautilus training facility. This was in the late 1970's early 80's. So Nautilus was a novel thing here in Hawaii. We talked a bit about training and he gave me a book by Arthur Jones. It changed my life and how I approached training.
