Onlyme,
You brought back some long ago memories for me. I new Ron Depolito, used to hang at his place in Venice and used to get my stuff from him. Ron’s cousin Sharon was a very good friend and introduced me to him when he ran that gym in LA. I think it was called City Gym? Dave Durpre used to train there. Shortly after meeting Ron he had to go away for awhile for the pimping thing he was into…
Ron was a kick. He invited me to one of his birthday parties in a very upscale nightclub in Beverly Hills. I had a blast. And you are right about the girls.. Ron used to have Arnold’s first California diver’s license (I think it was 1973) in a frame on the wall in his apartment… Wow, reading your post brought back some good and interesting memories. I lost touch with Ron a number a years ago.
You mentioned he lost a leg… Do you have any more details?
