Sent you what I could, Chris.  I hope that it helps.  I've only been training weightlifting for a few months but this site has been very helpfull.  I'll miss it while it's down.  Thanks for the hard work and good luck.

Jason,

I remember you. I was at the 89 Jr Worlds, working as an expediter. Out of the results you say you can't find, all I have is the 1990 Jr Nationals. I will scan and email them to you. But, if you called or wrote the USAW, I am sure they would photocopy the rest of what you want and send it to you. At least, they have done that for me before. On the videos, your best bet is probably Jim Schmitz. He has videotapes of a lot of meets. If you wanted it converted to DVD, I could do that for you along with editing it to improve color, remove distortion, etc, and take pictures from the video although the quality of the pictures will be limited. For better pictures, you might try contacting Randy Strossen at IronMind or Bruce Klemens to see what they have.

Thanks very much for the kind words and donation. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do and expect the 1990 National Jr results in your email in the next day or so.

Chris, thanks for the info, I have emailed Bruce, Jim, and Randy
so hopefully someone can come through for me. As for the other
results, maybe someone will see my post and be able to assist if
time permits. Take care.

Dear Members,

Thanks so very much for all of your support. We are at a total of $503 in donations after paypal fees. The new site is pretty much ready and I am extremely pleased with it. I believe a lot of the features are very cool and will be extremely useful to the community. I am excited. We are ready. The new site may be a little overwhelming at first but I am confident the members and guests will grow to love its capabilities, which are constantly being expanded by the people that created it. Especially in terms of the ability to find and present results, it is really cool.

It won't be long now.  :)wink

May the Force be with you!
