Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I was thinking about Tommy Kono yesterday
morning because I've been rereading one
of his books (which, by the way, are
highly recommended) -- and I ended up
sending an email that talked about his
lifting, his accomplishments, and his
training.
Later in the day John Wood shot out an
email blast about Tommy Kono knee bands
(which are also highly recommended). So
John must have been thinking about Tommy
Kono. as well.
A few hours later, Bill Hinbern sent out
an e-blast, in which he said "Happy
Birthday to Tommy Kono!"
That's right -- yesterday was Tommy Kono's
birthday!
So, belated birthday wishes to a great
champion, a great coach, and a great
teacher!
Happy Birthday to Tommy Kono!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
