Thanks Eric.

Sad news, Denny.

My best friend and training partner, Whitey, who died unexpectedly last Sept., and I trained at the Gold Plate Gym in Norristown. We competed in a powerlifting meet they put on in the basement of the church there. Those were the days when the bar was still simply loaded up in weight and I remember starting my DL at 9 PM. I don’t think we got done till midnight. Anyway, as I remember, and my memory is admittedly foggy, Vernacchio and Durante were there judging. They had big names even in PL circles.

Yes, I believe they could have been, John and Dick competed in Olympic and Powerlifting. My first meet at the Holy Savior Club had over 100 lifters. We didn’t finish lifting until about 1 AM. Then they had the bodybuilding contest after that.

So how did you place in the bodybuilding contest? 🙂

I had given up on bodybuiling by then.
