Dear SaintAnger,
I know you won't like my responses but here goes:
Jim Manion- I have never met him. All I can say is that he has always been nice to Craig when Craig wished to enter a contest
past the "due date."
Steve Weinberger- I have met Steve many times and he has been nothing but generous and nice to me. He may not appear to be loquacious,
but Steve has sat down with me and offered me advice on Craig's career which proved to be very beneficial. Steve is very knowledgeable with
regard to the sport of bodybuilding and he definitely knows how to set up and run a successful gym. For those who want to train at a gym with
real energy, his is a great place. Every time I walk through the door, I taste the hardcore nature. Of course, he has regular people in their too but
you can go there on any afternoon and see top notch physiques, competitors and pro bodybuilders. I did recount the story of how nice Bev was to me
some years ago when I lost all my 16 tickets to the NY Pro and she personally took me and all my people and sat us in our correct seats. She was very
nice to me and at a time when she could not have been more busy or had more stress placed upon her.
Whatever the politics of bodybuilding might be, they are no different than in any other endeavor. At least here, in bodybuilding, we can all see for ourselves
just who has dedicated themselves to the sport and who hasn't. Steve has dedicated himself, in many aspects, to the sport and while no one is perfect, he runs
a great gym, a tight show and has good advice to give if you can get it.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted but I have to be honest.
Harley
