Also passed this year were 2 of my long-time bodybuilding friends.
They were photographer and historian JOHN CORLETT from CA, and my South Aussie friend YURIS STERNS. Yuris was a power lifter, coach and promoter of power lifting and an excellent photographer. His death was on September 27th. They will all be greatly missed. RIP.
