FUNK, I never met Mr Tyler, nor can I recall ever reading any of his articles. Strange??!
I forgot to mention another great bodybuilder in his day who resided outside of the West Coast of California. (ATLANTA, GEORGIA.)
His name was/is Dave Rogers and he was often considdered to be one of the principal contenders in the A/ or Nationals. but for some reason never won it.... except for the overall 1980 Mr. USA title.
