TOMMY, The name 'LOPRINZI' sounded familiar, but I couldn't place the face ... so I did some research and came across the attached photo which I've never seen before and thought that it may be of interest to some GetBiggers.
Plus there is a hell of a lot of good info on the Joe Loprinzi family up there in Portland.
This photo may not be too clear but it is interesting to read the names of all those in it. One grenade accurately tossed and there would be no bodybuilding today!!!
Back row, left to right: Bob Delmonteque, John Isaacs, Glenn Sundby, George Redpath, Les Stockton, Pudgy Stockton (the only woman to be included in this historic picture), Red Lerille, Vince Gironda, Steve Reeves, Russ Warner, Leo Stern, Bill Pearl, Dennis Tinerino, Jimmy Payne, Leroy Colbert, Larry Scott, Chuck Krauser, Al Berger, Pat Casey, Don Peters, Babe Stansbury, George Coates, Bill Cantrell.
Front row, left to right: Joe Loprinzi, Sam Loprinzi, Orville Wertzbaugher, Johnny Gibson, Joe Abbenda, Ed Jubinville, George Eiferman, Joe Weider, Harry Smith, Walt Marcyan, Armand Tanny, Mits Kawashima, John Grimek, Jack LaLanne, and Don Arnold.
It would be interesting to see how many of these individuals GetBiggers have actually met. And it us amazing that all these pioneers were able to get together for this historic photograph!
Anyone missing?
