    HELLO, BOMBER FANS!

    I’M A LONG TIME (ALMOST ANCIENT) FAN OF THE
    BLONDE BOMBER. I WAS INTRODUCED TO MISTER DAVID DRAPER WHEN I WAS MYBE 16 - 17 YEARS OLD. PREVIOUSLY, I GLOMMED ONTO BILL PEARL, WHO WAS ARGUABLY THE BEST IN THE 60′S.
    BUT WHEN I PICKED MY FIRST COPY IF MUSCLE AND FITNESS, I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT I SAW THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN ON THE PLANET!

    AS IT TURNED OUT, HIS NAME WAS DAVE DRAPER. HE HAD LOOKS , CHARISMA,
    AND A TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE
    BUSINESS, ALL WRAPPED UP IN ONE BODYBUILDER!

    A LITTLE LATER ON, I SAW HIM IN A TONY CURTIS
    MOVIE, DIRECTED BY ALEXANDER “SANDY” MCKENDRICK CALLED, “DON’T MAKE WAVES”.

    I WAS BLOWN AWAY.

    THUS, DAVE DRAPER’S CAREER AS MY MENTOR
    BEGAN, AND DAVE NEVER EVEN KNEW IT.

    NOW, I AM WRITNG THIS AFTER WATCHING
    TWO (2) CLIPS ON DAN JOHN , A PROLIFIC,
    ENERGETIC AND INVENTIVE SPORTS TRAINER.

    TO SAY THE TRUTH, I HAVEN’T CLICKED ON THE
    “BUY” BUTTON YET, HOWEVER, I MUST SAY THAT
    THIS HAS TO BE A WORLD-CLASS PRODUCT, AND
    MR/ DAN JOHN MUST BE A RARE AND ELEGANT
    MAN. EVERYTHING DAVE DRAPER STANDS FOR
    AS A MAN, A BODYBUILDER, AN ADVICE-GIVER,
    A WRITER, SPELLS OUT HONESTY, INTEGRITY,
    QUALITY, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP.

    THEREFORE, THE $39.95 FOR THIS DVD IS
    TRIVIA. EVERY REAL BODYBULDER CAN TELL
    YOU SOMETHING ABOUT STEWARDSHIP, AND
    INVESTMENT.

    TO HEAR A TRAINER OF DAN JOHN’S LEVEL
    SPEAK ABOUT GOALS, MINDSET, AND EVERY-
    THING ELSE THAT PERTAINS TO PHYSICAL
    TRAINING, IS A GIFT: PURE AND SIMPLE

    THAT DAVE DRAPER SUGGESTS THAT IT
    MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA THAT WE SUPPORT
    DAN JOHN BY BUYING THIS DVD, IS GOOD
    ENOUGH FOR ME.

    THERE ARE REASONS WHY DAVE DRAPER
    AND HIS METHODS AND IDEAS HAVE OUT-
    LASTED MOST OF HIS CONTEMPORAIES.

    I NAMED THEM, ABOVE.

    THANKS, DAVE. YOU ARE BIGGER THAN LIFE.

    LOVE,

    HES

    Thanks for your great comments, Doc. I’ll make sure Dave sees your note.

    You saw this newsletter column, correct? Part one of an interview Dave did recently. You’ll enjoy the memories.
