Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Last Fall I was doing research for book no.
5 in the Legacy of Iron series -- and I
suddenly found a clue about where Harry
Paschall was buried.
Now, if you're not familiar with Harry
Paschall, let me give you some background.
Harry was born in 1897 in North Central Ohio.
As a boy, he saw Arthur Saxon perform his
legendary strongman act. That prompted him to
save his pennies and buy a barbell set from
the Milo barbell Company.
He trained in secret -- in his bedroom --
following the old Milo courses to the letter.
In one year, he gained 25 pounds of muscle and
became a strongman in his own right.
he had some photos taken and sent them in to
Strength magazine -- and when they were published,
young Harry became world famous.
Later, he moved to New York City, where he trained
with Mark Berry and Sig Klein at Klein's famous
gymnasium.
Harry was an artist by trade, and he created the
wonderful BOSCO, a superhuman strongman modeled
(sort of) on Arthur Saxon.
Harry started writing for the muscle mags in the
1920's -- at the same time he was competing in lifting
contests and setting National records in his favorite
lift, the two hand snatch.
He wrote several terrific training books and courses.
You can get them from my good buddy, Bill Hinbern:
http://www.superstrengthtraining.com/harry_paschall.html
Harry always taught sane, sensible, Physical Culture. He
hated the "lumps at any cost" mentality. He wanted his
readers to be strong, healthy, well-conditioned, lean,
hard and muscular. His ideal was John Grimek -- who
was one of his close friends -- and he offered many
insights into John Grimek in his books and articles.
Harry is one of the main characters in my Legacy of Iron
books -- and when you read the books, you'll learn plenty
about Harry Paschall and his pals (Bob Hoffman, John
Grimek, Steve Stanko, Tony Terlazzo and the rest of the
gang).
Anyhow -- last Fall, I discovered where Harry is buried.
It's not in York, as I would have suspected. It was in
an old country cemetery in North central Ohio.
So Trudi and I drove up to pay our respects.
When we got there, we found that Harry was lying in an
unmarked grave.
We found his mother's grave - his father's grave -- his
brother's grave -- and they all had markers -- but Harry
lay next to them in an unmarked grave.
Well, that wasn't going to work. So when I got home, I
sent an email and called for donations to a special Harry
Paschall Memorial Fund.
The Dinos answered the call -- and in just a couple of days
we had enough money for a nice marker.
So here's the update.
Last week, the marker was set in place on Harry's grave. It's
black marble, it's big, and it's a work of art -- literally,
because it includes a large Bosco drawing carved right in the
center.
I have a photo of it, and I'm going to send a color copy of
the photo -- along with another special bonus -- to everyone
who contributed to the memorial Fund.
So to everyone who answered the call, and stood up and took
action -- I thank you, Harry thanks you, and Bosco thanks you!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

News, Updates and Questions for Dinosaurs!
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Let’s do some news, updates, and questions today – and on the questions, please let me have your feedback! It always helps to hear from you.
1. The Dinosaur Files newsletter.
If you subscribe to the Dinosaur Files newsletter, let me have some feedback on the January issue!
If you don’t subscribe, please think about doing so – the Dinosaur Files are GREAT, and getting a big 20 page newsletter in the mail every month is lots of fun – and it really helps to keep you motivated for serious training.
For more about The Dinosaur Files newsletter, go here:
http://www.brookskubik.com/dinosaur_files.html
Also – we’re always looking for good photos to run in the Dino Files – so send them on in!
2. E-Books
I’m a thoroughly old-fashioned guy, and I like BOOKS. The kind you hold in your hand, read, savor and enjoy. And I know that many of you feel the same way.
But I know that some of you prefer e-books.
So please shoot me an email and let me know if you’re interested in e-books, and if so, what type of reader you use for your e-books.
And when you reply, let me know if there’s any distinction for you between “how to train” books such as Dinosaur Training, Gray Hair and Black Iron, Chalk and Sweat and Strength, Muscle and Power and my novels, such as the Legacy of Iron books and Horatius. I would suspect that some of you might prefer hard copies of training books (to study, underline and annotate) and e-book versions of the novels.
3. Audio Books
Same question for audio books. If that’s something that interests you, let me know.
And again, if you see a distinction between training books vs. novels in audio format, let me know.
4. The Harry Paschal Memorial Fund
Update – we raised several thousand dollars for harry paschall’s marker, and I have purchased what ought to be a very nice looking one. It will be a large black stone, with Harry’s name and dates on it, along with one of his favorite Bosco cartoons, and the words “WEIGHTLIFTER, AUTHOR AND ARTIST.”
It should be finished and in place in April. I’ll send a photo to everyone who contributed to the Memorial Fund.
5. Legacy of Iron 5
As noted the other day, Legacy of Iron 5 – Barbells in the Pacific, is at the printer. It should be ready sometime around January 25 or 26. I’ll put up an order page for you next week.
That wraps it up for now. If you have a chance, please let me have your thoughts on the above topics – especially the idea of e-books and audio books. If enough of you are interested, we’ll explore the possibility of doing them.
As always, thanks for reading, and have a great day – and if you train today, make it a good one!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik

AN UPDATE ON THE HARRY PASCHALL MEMORIAL FUND
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I wanted to give you an update on the Harry Paschall Memorial Fund. If you missed the news back in November, here’s the story.
Harry Paschall was one of the best-known figures in the Iron Game in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. His long-running “Behind the Scenes” series in Strength and Health – accompanied by his inimitable BOSCO cartoons, brought him a worldwide audience.
Harry also wrote for Peary Rader’s Iron Man, for Roger Eells’ VIM, and for various British magazines. And he also wrote a series of books and training courses. He was one of the most prolific Iron Game authors of all time – and one of the bets loved.
Harry was a great friend with the York lifters, and finished his career by working on what must have been his dream job – working as the Managing Editor of Strength and Health.
Harry died of a heart attack on September 24, 1957. He was driving back to York after having visited the printer in Maryland, to go over the upcoming issue of the magazine.
Back in September I was working on one of my Legacy of Iron novels – in which Harry is one of the main characters. I needed to check something, so I ran a quick google search – and up popped some Paschall family genealogy – and that led me to do another search – and up popped some burial records – and that gave me the address of a genealogist and historian – who had the burial records – and the next thing you knew, I had the exact location of Harry’s grave.
It was in an old country cemetery in Ohio – which meant it was not too terribly far from Louisville.
Now, if you’ve been reading the Legacy of Iron series, you know that one of the major themes is paying respects to the great lifters and writers of the past – remembering the men and their accomplishments – keeping their story alive – and honoring them.
There are several scenes where Harry or other characters visit the grave of a famous strongman to pay their respects. One of them (in book two) takes place in an old country cemetery.
So it was obvious what I had to do. I had to go visit Harry’s grave – and pay my respects to one of the truly great men in the history of the Iron Game.
My parents live in Dayton, Ohio. Trudi and I drove up to see them in early November, and the next morning, we got up early, jumped in the car, and headed northwest. Our destination was the old country cemetery where Harry was buried.
I drove. Trudi navigated. It was one of those “turn left at the old oak tree – drive two miles and turn right at the fork in the road – turn left at the third hawk in the tree – and keep going until you see the big rock past the cornfield.”
It was a wonder we made it – but we did.
We got to the old cemetery, jumped out of the car, and headed toward the spot where Harry was buried.
We passed his mother’s grave – and then his father’s – and then his brother’s.
And then we found Harry’s grave – and we stopped dead in our tracks.
Harry Paschall, one of the most beloved of all Iron Game authors, was buried in an unmarked grave.
You could see the place where the grave had been dug – covered over with yellow-brown grass – but that was all.
No marker, and no sign that there had ever been one.
It was really a shock. A very sad sight.
We took photos, and then Trudi filmed a short video to record the moment. It’s on YouTube.
On the way back, our hearts heavy and our hands numb with cold, we talked about what to do. Trudi suggested that we start a Memorial Fund to collect donations to purchase a marker for Harry.
So that’s what we did.
We launched the Harry Paschall Memorial Fund back in November, and kept it open for about a week. During that time, we received donations from lifters and lifting fans around the world – including some famous names (two Mr. America winners and one Olympic and World Weightlifting Champion).
In the first day, we raised enough money for a modest marker.
In the second day, we raised enough to upgrade to a larger marker made with higher quality stone.
Two days later, we were able to upgrade to an even bigger marker – with even better stone – and more words on the marker.
And when we closed, we had enough to cover the cost of the marker and flowers – and to pay the Township that manages the cemetery to place flowers on Harry’s grave every year pretty much forever.
In other words, the Dinos did good. Real good.
The marker should be ready in about 4 months. It will be made of black marble, with Harry’s name and dates, and BOSCO carved into the stone as well.
When it’s ready, Trudi and I will go back to the old cemetery and take a photo. I’ll post if so you can see it. And everyone who made a donation is going to get a color copy of the photo in the mail.
Harry’s been buried without a marker for 53 years. Together, I think we just got him a heck of a Christmas present.
Rest in peace, Harry – we love you!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
P.S. I want to thank everyone who stepped up and made a donation to help buy a marker for Harry. It was a great thing to do. THANK YOU!

Bosco's Last Sketch
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
They say that truth is stranger than fiction.
I think they’re right.
On September 24, 1957, Harry Paschall sat at his desk in the Strength and Health offices. John Grimek sat across from him, answering letters from trainees around the world. The two men shared an office.
While Grimek hammered away on the typewriter, Harry doodled.
Harry was the Managing Editor of Strength and Health, as well as a feature writer for the magazine. He included a full page “Bosco” cartoon with each of his articles. Harry’s articles were probably the most popular articles in the magazine – and everyone loved Harry’s cartoons!
Harry sat at his desk, his fingers moving rapidly as he worked on sketches for his next Bosco cartoon. Bosco was a gigantic old-time strongman modeled after Arthur Saxon, complete with handlebar mustache, a thick German accent, a roundhouse right, a keen sense of right and wrong, and the strength of a dozen full-grown gorillas. His exploits were legendary. Harry had been thrilling lifting fans with Bosco cartoons for close to 20 years.
Over time, the two merged into one being – and many began to refer to Harry Paschall as “Bosco.” Heck, Harry even did it himself.
Harry glanced at the clock on the wall. It was time to go.
He laid his sketch down on his desk, picked up the galleys for the next issue of Strength and Health, and headed to the door.
“Where you going?” growled Grimek in his thick Jersey accent.
“Taking the galleys to the printer. We’re on a really tight schedule.”
Grimek grunted and nodded. Magazines are always on a tight schedule. He’d been fighting to meet deadlines since the day he began working for Strength and Health. They all had.
“See ya later,” said Grimek.
“Yup -- later,” said Harry.
He put his hat on his head and stepped out the door.
They got the news later in the day.
Harry had suffered a massive heart attack while driving to the printer’s office. It killed him.
Later, after he heard the news, John Grimek walked over to Harry’s desk and picked up Harry’s last sketch. He tucked it away in a special drawer in his own desk.
Now here’s the part that gets a little strange.
Harry’s very last sketch – the one he did on the day he died – shows a big statue of Bosco, flexing his arms in history’s most impressive double-biceps pose.
It might very well be a memorial statue.
The sketch also shows a group of kids staring up at the statue and fading away into the distance – or perhaps, into the future. Which is what you would expect with a memorial statue.
As you probably know, I’ve set up a special fund to collect donations to buy a marker for Harry’s grave. The details are right here:
http://brookskubik.com/paschall_memorial.html
The marker is going to feature Bosco’s world famous double biceps pose – the very same pose that Harry drew in his last sketch.
I think that’s the way Harry would have wanted it.
We’ve had a tremendous response to the Harry Paschall Memorial Fund – so great that we’re going to close it after today. If you’d like to contribute, please do it today. Small amounts are fine – it’s the thought that counts more than anything.
As always, thanks for reading – and a great big THANK YOU to everyone who has stepped up and made a donation to help our old buddy, Bosco.

Happy Birthday to Bosco!
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Today is a red-letter day in the history of the Iron Game!
Today is Harry Paschall’s birthday.
Harry was born on November 27, 1897.
It’s funny that we’re celebrating Harry Paschall’s birthday today, because we’ve all been working toward giving him a very special birthday present.
Last week, I drove up to an old country cemetery in north-central Ohio. My mission was to find Harry Paschall’s grave. And I did.
Harry is buried close to his mother and his father, and right next to his brother.
But there’s a big problem.
Harry Paschall is buried in an unmarked grave.
I don’t know how or why that happened. But it did.
So a couple of days ago, I started the Harry Paschall Memorial Fund. The purpose of the fund is to collect enough money to buy a nice marker for Harry.
And I’m glad to say that we’ve done enormously well. We’re going to be able to purchase a very nice marker, as well as flowers when the marker is set in place – and we’ll probably end up with enough to have flowers placed on the grave at regular intervals into the future.
And so, working together, the Dinos have made it a pretty good birthday for our old friend Bosco.
I’ll keep the Memorial Fund open for another day or two, and then we’ll close it down. So if you’d like to make a small donation, please do so now.
After the marker is set in place, I’m going to take a color photo of it, and send an 8 x 10 copy of the photo to everyone who made a contribution to the marker.
It will be a nice little piece of Iron Game history – and it will be good to see what can happen when we work together for a common cause.
And so, from Dino headquarters, and from all the Dinos all around the world:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!
Yours in strength,

The Harry Paschall Memorial Fund
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
I know that many of you are huge fans of Harry Paschall.
That probably goes double for those of you who are purchasing vintage copies of Strength and Health from John Wood and reading Harry’s marvelous articles in them.
It probably goes triple for those of you who have grabbed Bill Hinbern’s modern reprint editions of Harry’s books and training courses.
And it probably goes double triple for those of you who are following the Legacy of Iron series, where Harry is one of the main characters.
So here’s a very special message for Harry Paschall fans:
Last Sunday, I visited Harry Paschall’s grave – to pay my respects – and this is what I found . . . .
