Gorgeous George...curly blonde locks, fur robe, feather boa, black and white TV?

Never heard of him.

In 1950 I was 8 years old.

And already gorgeous, no doubt a child prodigy in the realm of gorgeousness. Bet that was your picture on the Gerber baby food jars. Me, I was always rather homely, my current state not being a recent phenomenon. Thank goodness my kids take after their mother more than they do me.

My daughter was fifth place in an International Gerber contest in 1969. They used a composite of the top dozen or so.

In the late 70's Gorgeous George...was touring with a Razzlin' Bear named Victor....Malls fairs etc. Yes, he whipped the little rooster's scrony tail. But the little rooster learned a valueable lesson. Keep that 3rd eye open and never let someone or thing 4 times your size get behind you.

Gorgeous George, The Amazing Bat (with his deadly "Bat Grip"), Gentleman John, The Green Gripper (with his Green Grip of Death...to overcome the Bat's grip), names to remember and cherish. Great athletes, one and all, and not a steroid amoing them ('cept cortizone shots).

I knew Gentleman John. In his weekday job he was a fifth grade teacher where my Mom taught first grade. He also owned a Dog 'N' Suds root beer stand.

He retired several years back as President and CEO of a very large hotel chain.

Remember this guy http://www.wrestlingonline.com/cwfmemories/galleries/rm/1/pages/Duke%20Keomuka.htm ? Seems like we used to call him "Dirty" Duke Keomuka, because he always fought "dirty", using that karate chop and all those other inscrutable techniques.
