Best suggestion on this forum in a long time!

And what does it say about the current state of the sport that the most excitement is generated by looking backwards??

Not true. I was careful to point out that we don't need to ONLY focus on the "golden era " of BB.
Some epic battles have happened within the past 15-20 yrs.
The last Olympia between Kai and Phil was an epic , close battle.
Many of the younger guys would have no idea of the past however and a guy like Peter could really paint a pic of how it was , with a few pics added.

Can cover the epic battles starting from the 60's up to the 2000's! Should be a hell of a lot of material to work with, and make for some interesting and entertaining writing from Peter!

I love that pitch also, Howard. I'm a nostalgic guy myself & would love to see some pics from yesteryear, especially the B&W stuff from contests other than the O (Mr. America, Universe, etc.). The Babe Ruths of this sport deserve their recognition today as much as they did back then.

Yes, I agree, some vinatge pics from the Mr America and Universe would be great.
