My brother lives in Flowermound , TX arich suburb of Dallas. When I was 12 I used to go stay the summer there with his family(he is a half brother alot older than me) so I also have 4 neices my age who are his daughters. One neice of mine had a friend in school named Lisa lisa had a nice pool a her house, so we could go swim there when we wanted. (we used to like to swim alot, dallas in the summer is hot as a bitch) My neices told me her dad was famous , they said his name was Franco Columbo. He had suposedly competed against Arnold. Well I knew of Arnold but didnt know Franco(I was young). Anyway went over there to swim and Him and all his family were cool as shit to us. HE WAS THE MOST MUSCULAR PERSON I HAD SEEN UNTIL THEN. and this was after his competing days, They had a garage converted into a nice gym, he had pictures of him and Arnold and one picture was a picture of Arnold signed by Arnold that said"Eat your heart out Franco" in what I know now to be typical Arnold (cocky). Anyway Francos son was about in high school at the time and was almost bigger than him. Lisa invited us over alot because she had a crush on me, but she was kind of thick and at that time I liked the skinny girls, (stupid me). When we would go over there there would always be a BBQ in the backyard and Franco would always be cooking. He would always be in posing trunks and I was in shock at his muscularity. Well , years later when I first hit a real GYM . I seen his pic on the wall along with all the other olmpia winners. Then later I seen the movie "Pumping Iron" , it was cool because I was like "I met him" Him and all his family were very nice. I will never forget that summer. Some of you will say it is bullshit, but I have no reason to lie. HE was probably the most famous bodybuilder I have ever met. I did meet Craig Titus since I live in Houston years ago. But that is about all
