      Good Luck to everyone! I wish it weren’t so far for me to come out, Al’s place is always an inspiration to me to train harder!

        Eric, these would be from the 60’s, except Wayne Smith and Wayne Gardner, I think they lifting into the 80’s. I have a few….but not many from that era. But the parts have been cut out, like newspaper clippings.

          Al, I really like the idea of a weekly (or say “regular”) blast from the past. I don’t know how Bill feels about his old Newsletter stuff being passed on, but for 50 years he put out around 10 of these a year and that’s a lot of good stuff that should be passed on. I had saved some of those (which I donated to you!) but threw away most of them (and I could kick myself now!). If anyone had any that had anything with any JWC members or team reports, I would love to have copies.

              Tully, don’t make me go there, you’re a big target. A really big target.

                    Back BEFORE Tedd was born, we got 36″ on snow on April 1st and it was NOT an April Fool’s joke. Me and my Dad got stranded, were saved by a guy on a tractor….got stuck for almost 48 hours….it was an epic event. the difference was that 3 days later it had all but melted. We got 17″ here in Kville on top of 6″ already on the ground! The drifts are amazing!

                    Also, Al, I figured you’d have some “connections” with the new county commish to get those roads cleared off to your house!

                          Well, first, I’m said if I sent Dr. Dino a question, that’s what it would be…..as if I didn’t know who he was.

                          Second, You are 100% right about your honesty in story telling, I don’t believe a dang thing Chad tells me now!

                            If I wrote it….here’s what I would have said:

                            Dear Dino Man,

                            You really should have more articles by Thom Van Vleck. He is by far the best on your website, you should pay him to get him to write more…money…lots and lots of money. I’m not sure I can choke down one more story by that Al Myers…he sucks.

                              Tom, that’s great information. I appreciate that! I will be sure and ask Mr. Green about them. About that DVD…my Uncle Phil is on me to locate some films of them doing their control. Any chance you could get that copied and send it to me!! I’d pay you for your trouble!!!

                              Plus….you have to remember that “wealthy” is relative….I come from dirt poor! Phil said they had a trust fund from their grandmother, but probably not “millionaire” status. thom

                                That a great website. Much better than the JWC site….what a joke that one is! The guy that runs it needs to update it! Oh, wait…..that’s me…&#^$#(@^$@^#@ computers!!!!

                                  I can’t wait to go to Al’s again and hear some more Chad stories. Those get better every time I hear them! What, with all the “increased disclosure” with each telling! It’s like a Pizza that you take a slice and when you open the box there’s two slices in it’s place…yeah, a magic pizza….
