The workman was about to put the pipe in a vise so that he could remove the bar when “Herold” intervened. -

First, I want to thank Dr. Jan Todd of the Kinesiology and Health Education Department at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Todd taught me to trust in my strengths, both physically and intellectually. This dissertation would not have been started, much less finished, without her constant encouragement and support.

Special thanks go to Dr. Terry Todd, also of the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at The University of Texas, who began the Todd-McLean Physical Culture Collection and, in so doing, provided me with the means to complete this dissertation. -

2009 Usawa Year in Review
Editor Al Myers, USAWA Webmaster and Secretary/Treasurer of the USAWA Preview 2009 was a year of change for the USAWA. The USAWA Website became the mode of communication for the organization with Bill Clark stepping down as publisher/editor of the Strength Journal. This booklet summary is compiled to provide a written record of the events that occurred in the USAWA during the year 2009. All of the information in this book originated from the USAWA Website - which includes the USAWA Daily News and meet results. Also included in this book is several summaries that were compiled during the year and biographies of several Hall of Fame Members. Since this summary is copied from the website which is designed for website links, several highlighted areas are for links that are not available in printed form. I left these in place because I wanted this book to be a copy of what is available on the website and to prevent any additional editing on my part. Acknowledgements I want to thanks all the contributing writers to the USAWA Daily News. This includes Thom Van Vleck, John McKean, Dennis Mitchell, and Ben Edwards. I also want to thank the many people who have sent me pictures to be used on the website. About the USAWA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission The USAWA was formed to continue the long standing tradition of old-time weightlifters like Eugen Sandow, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Hermann Goerner, Warren Lincoln Travis, and many others. We strive to preserve the history of the original forms of weightlifting, which in the past has been referred to as "odd lifting".
