Bruce Hart and Les Thatcher (partially hidden) talk to the next generation of wrestlers at the Thursday Night Workout. Bruce was one of several members of the Hart Family who made it to the reunion this year.

J Michael Kenyon and Me in the lobby. This was my first time we ever met in person. The table in back of us is where everyone picked up their name badges and registered. J Michael Kenyon is the undisputed champion of Professional Wrestling historians and probably knows more about wrestling's history than anyone else in the world. He is working on a multi-volume history that people have been waiting for for many years. That is another noted historian and collector, Tom Burke in the yellow cap on the right, too. I used to write to Tom and subscribed to his newsletter when I was doing the programs for Roy Shire in the early 1970s, but it was the first time I got to meet him, too.

Mando Guerrero at the Baloney Blowout on Friday night. I've seen him wrestle in lots of videos, but this was the first time I ever met him, too. It doesn't sound like I knew anyone until last weekend, does it?

I caught CAC President Red Bastien looking at a bunch of the programs I made for Roy Shire's shows at the Cow Palace. Red autographed one of his pictures in a program, too! Red also wrestled there as Texas Red. Later on he was promoting in that territory.

Buddy Rose was signing autographs for someone every time I saw him. He sounded like a fun guy.

Harley Race and Les Thatcher watch some of the wrestlers practice a move.

Rock Riddle is looking for some photos of him wrestling if anyone has any. I had already left before he came to Roy's territory and didn't have any.
