The 21st Reunion Banquet for the Association of Oldetime Barbell & Strongmen was a great success this weekend, boding well for the continued growth of the organization founded by Vic Boff and now headed by Artie Drechsler.
In addition to this year's honorees—Doris Barrilleaux, Gary Cleveland, Dr. James George and Elmo Santiago—there was the usual collection of Iron Game big names and enthusiasts coming from near and far for this annual event. This year's dinner boasted near-record levels of attendance, which speaks to the organization's good health, and for more information, please check the wesbsite so you can plan to attend yourself next year.
