I am thinking about coming to the Club Championships, but it will only be Judy and me if we come. The Pa. State Weightlifing Championships are the day before at York Barbell. I have to make a decision soon as to which one to do as I can’t do both.
Congratulations Dave.
The meet will be in my back yard again and Judy will be suppying the food. We will have a donation jar for the banquet.
No Chad, I haven’t received yours yet. So far my entries are Al Myers, Art Montini, Dennis Mitchell, and me.
Congratulation James. You really impressed me at the Heavylifts.
I was at that meet in York [as a spectator] where that picture was taken. I always enjoyed watching Wilbur lift. He was one of my favorite lifters, and one of few who were outstanding at both Olympic and Powerlifting.
Al, you are doing a great job. I am amazed you have the time to do all you do.
Dale will be missed. I remember the first few years I lifted in the USAWA, Dale and I were in the same age group and weight class and we had some great battles. He was always there to give you advice and encourgement. He was a great competitor and a realy great and couragous man.
I agree. Great Story!
Thanks guys. I didn’t expect this honor.
I agree that the men and woman should have completly separate divisions.
John also ran the 1987 National Masters, the 1991 Pan American Masters Championships, plus I can’t remember how many Eastern Masters Powerlifting and Weightlifting Championships and numerous other Olympic Lift and 3 lift Allround contests. The majority of the awards I have came from meets that John Vernacchio ran or ones I lifted in with him.
By the way, that is Andy Tomlin in that picture.
I talked John’s brother Sal yesterday and he told me the services for John will be on Thursday. He didn’t have any other details yet. He will let me know on Wednesday.
John’s friend Dee called us this morning and told us about John. It was John who got me and many others involved with All-Round Weightlifting. John was a great guy and a good friend. I will always remember the good times I had traveling with John and training at his gym.
