The Association of Oldetime Barbell & Strongmen honored Bruce Wilhelm, Bill Seno and Carlo Dunlap at this year’s annual dinner.

Wilhelm - who was world class in three Olympic sports - did double duty this year, presenting a seminar in the afternoon and receiving an award in the evening, and his seminar was vintage Bruce Wilhelm . . . colorful stories from the man who once said, “I should have been a clown,” paused and then added, “I am a clown.”  Anyone who was in Bruce Wilhelm’s former store in Daly City, California when a UPS delivery arrived could attest to the man’s ability to turn even such an ordinary setting into a riotous sitcom.

Congratulations, all.
