Tweet Sent in by Ron Huillier: GARY THOMAS – WABDL CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR
BORN AUGUST 7, 1938 IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA AND DIED JUNE 6, 2016 IN NEWBERG, OREGON
If you were ever weighed in at a WABDL meet where Gary and his wife Elma managed the weigh in room, then you know it wasn’t a typical weigh-in. It was actually a good experience.
I hated weigh-ins in the time I lifted in the old AAU in the early seventies and then the old USPF up until 1986. People were rude – indifferent. Most, not all, of the officials whether it be judges, meet directors, or weigh-in staff didn’t seem to want to be there. I understand more than most that directing a Powerlifting meet is a thankless job. Because of the bad attitude of some officials we started WABDL.
