Hello from New York

[GerryT]

Hope everyone does not mind an "alien" among you. I have several friends in Canada who are competitors, and have been disappointed at the lack of Canadian coverage in the media of the Nationals and top provincial shows.
Many tremendous athletes reside in Canada, for sure.

Glad that guys like Fouad Abiad and Ben Pakulski have broken through in the pro ranks and have Olympia qualification. It's a start.

And rooting for my buddies Ron Partlow, Mike Van Wyck, Dave Naugler, Mike Poza and Chad Kerr in this weekend's Nationals.

Chad is a top competitor and his wife CeaAnna is a figure pro, and they are as competitive as anyone right now.

As for me, I'm an accountant for a publisher to make ends meet, and on the side I coach competitors in their posing for their shows, and have also judged some local events. Anyone needs any posing advice, get in touch and I'll send my instruction links and answer questions based on my availability.

Go USA and Canada!

Welcome brotha! ....ps. We're all American.s.....North Americans....even the Mexicans!

[GerryT]

I agree, Benny. Next week is North Americans in Cleveland, OH, and it brings top athletes from Canada, U.S. and Mexico.

Canadians and Mexicans have done very well there. It should be another great competition. It is all about the athletes, bottom line.

Thanks again.

Welcome GerryT...where do I know that name from???

[GerryT]

Thanks, guys.

JonnyO, I post on a few other forums. I'm a moderator at Weights on the Web, and post occasionally on Mayhem, MD.com, RX.com. under this name.

Or maybe from myspace or facebook? Hardly on myspace any more, facebook a little more often.
