Great article John, it reminds me of my younger years when Steve Reeves, Bill Pearl and that era were kicking them down.

Love hearing stories of those days and the characters. Thanks for putting the time in John.

Thanks guys... Joe Gold was a great man. Yeah he was cranky and cantankerous, but was also in a lot of pain. He had terrible back problems - probably from building all that equipment himself. I've met a lot of people in this biz who are gone now... Joe is one of whom I think about almost every day. I just wanted everyone to know how much of a difference he made in our world.

Never forget....

I always liked reading about Joe. He sounded like one hardcore SOB. He did not put up with any shit that is for sure. It would have been awesome to have a guy like that around. Someone to motivate u and just a guy that u know will always be there.
