By Denny Habecker
The 2022 Memorial Record day had 10 lifters lift this year, 6 at Habecker’s Gym and 4 at Clark’s Gym. This meet was originally started to replace Art’s Birthday Bash. Then it evolved to remember some of the other greats of our sport like John Vernacchio, Howard Prechtal, Dale Friesz, Jim Malloy, and Rex Monahan to name just a few. This year my youngest grandson Brady, lifted and lifted well, after only training for about 6 weeks. After the lifting we all were treated to a delicious lunch made by Judy Habecker.
