I think he trained Paris for some of that year.
But he really hung onto this contest.
In July 1987 M&F (Arnold Predator cover), he wrote an article about judging.
He went through the whole spiel about what makes a judge, competence, etc.
He specifically mentions the 1983 Nationals, claiming that there were vociferous boos from the audience. Near the end, he goes on to write that the audience followed the judges back to the hotel so that they could stand outside the building and boo the decision.
I have trouble believing it.
