good talk

Joe Weider's healthful living kept him going to "93."  I met a German Doctor who said that he knew Arnold when he was manager of that gym in Munich and though seemingly envious of Arnie's success said that he was known for his humor.  I don't know if it's true but he said that Arnie had roughed somebody up and that Joe Weider spirited him out of Germany one step ahead of the Law.  I'm a month older than Arnold (jumped the Mexican Maid some guys...) and exactly 2 weeks older than O.J.  Dave Appleby a guard was probably Akron U's 2nd best player and Dave went over 24 feet in the long jump and that was really getting out there in an era when there was that crude runway and when the takeoff board actually was this.  Dave taught Physical Education at Akron Buchtel High and was a successful coach in track, basketball and cross country (a State Championship). During WW II Dave was a Captain in the Marine Corps and was known to generations of Buchtelites (not to his face) as "Captain Dave." A Bill was recently introduced in the Nevada Assembly to allow anyone over "2l" to legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana with the Bill's Supporters saying Let the Drug Users pay for Our Schools the Drug would be taxed hopefully raising up to a half bil for Education.
