After we did our historical / collectors meeting, Tommy, Clyde Emerich, Red Lerille, and 103 year old Joe "The Great" Rollino
did a nice "Wisdom of the Ages" seminar, some great stories from Kono.

Already looking forward to next year. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (dhartnet) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/348 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:37:44 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/271/t/Email-from-Tommy-Kono.html#reply-271 feeds@kickapps.com (bigcracker) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/271 Tue, 27 May 2008 15:34:29 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/268/t/Email-from-Tommy-Kono.html#reply-268
It seems strange that Tommy coached the Mexicans and the West Germans, but never the US.
The politics of who gets this job or that in US weightlifting is as full of "intrigue" as governmental
politics it seems.

I know this sounds nerdy but the best analogy I can think of to describe him would be the Jedi master Yoda. To the unknowing he is very unassuming, wears "slippahs" just like 99% of the population here in Hawaii and is very soft spoken but passionate about Oly lifting. You would never know he was one of the greatest ( if not THE greatest) Olympic lifter the USA has ever... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (bigcracker) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/180 Sat, 17 May 2008 14:57:00 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/179/t/Email-from-Tommy-Kono.html#reply-179

Mr. Kono,

I hope this finds you in good health and spirits. I wanted to ask you a question but also tell you about a good deal I found on bumper plates. 4x45s and 2x25s ( not in kilos unfortunately) for $230 here in the islands. Not too shabby huh? It will do me for now I reckon.

Anyway. I have been reading about some of the oldtime bodybuilders such as Reg Park, Marvin Eder and even some of the old York... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (bigcracker) http://naturalstrength.net/topic/403 Wed, 14 May 2008 21:59:49 PST
