Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 News of an empowerment for the tribes takes me back forty years ago to the Gathering of the Tribes for the Summer of Love in the hippy days of Haight-Ashbury and the Panhandle area of Golden Gate Park. Ironically, that was also the Golden Age of training, the period just before steroids and the culture of lies and deceipt reared its ugly head in the Irongame. I'm hopeful that your down to earth approach to training and the metaphor guiding your work will restore some of the spirit of that mid 60s Geist to our sport. best Ken ONeill, Sensei Long Life Fitness Austin, Texas kayoneill@...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I grew up in San Francisco in the late 60s. Many Bay Area throwers, lifters, and football players used steroids in 68 and 69 (The Summer of Love). A more appropriate era for pre-drug sports was the time of " skinny Elvis, " the Lettermen, and Ozzie and Harriet.
