I'm on the right here, on the bottom here and doing a one hander on a cane. Don't ask???

I'm on top ('64 Worlds Fair). Doing a giant swing at the Junior Olympics; 1st place if I remember.

The "Old Days" of Gymnastics, the Junior Olympics and Hand Balancing. Were there hopes of
joining the circus? Hmmm. Somewhere between the ages of 17 and 50, the age I took up knife
throwing, there were many shoes to be filled: education, career, marriage, 2 great girls (one
a surgical resident and the other a West Point graduate serving in Germany). Yes, the good
old high school days were part of a New York City Championship Gymnastic Team and Junior
Olympic Champion. As an identical twin my brother and I performed an excellent hand to hand
balancing routine called Me and My Shadow. Somewhere along the way I also managed to
wield a pretty nasty pool cue: 62 ball high run in straight pool. All that is part of the past but
I still own a Balabushka (and a pool hall to go with it). Perhaps a good dare would still make
me want to screw that cue together once again!
