This is real awesome!! When we were in Reno for the WWC, the ESPN film crew wanted to do a story on myself and my son Boomer. The producer told me that they thought is was so nice to see a father and son that were so close like we are. So, they proceded to do several interviews and all of the filming at the tourney. The crew spent alot of time with us and we had alot of fun with them. Well, to get to the point, the producer called me a few nights ago, and we talked for a while. He said the have some great film and they want more. So the ESPN crew is coming to my home next monday for two days to get more film of Boomer and myself. They are going to get some training footage, and some footage of my family. I am real excited about this. This could give us armwrestlers some positive publicity. For those of you who know us, you know the love and passion that we have for this sport. We live for armwrestling. I also want the world to see the love that I have for my family. I have been training Boomer for a long time, and he is awesome. He is getting to be a better puller with every practice. He won the amateur title, and he was 7th in a very tough 154 pro class. We are training for a better placing next year. Also, from my understanding, the ESPN crew will be going to visit Elaine Blik for some more footage of her also. This is supposed to air on tv sometime in January. I will keep everyone posted as things progress. Now, I have to go and help my wife clean the house!!!

Thank you, Engin. Boomer is training hard, and we are looking forward to the day that he can pull with you. We feel that you are the very best 70 kg puller on the planet, and I pray that my son can reach your level. We talk about you almost every training session, and we have so much respect for you. You are the very best.

Hello Willie,
Glad this turned into something for ya, I guess making Boomer loose that few extra pounds turned into a bonus.
