re: Billy Cannon Johnny Robinson weights?

In 1961 my Dad brought me into the Robinson Sports store in the shopping center next to the then Varsity Theater and purchased me a “bag” of Cannon/Robinson barbell weights. I say “bag” because you could choose the number and what size weights you needed. The store would place them in a burlap bag with a very colorful picture of Cannon and Robinson on it to carry out the store. I still have the 90 lbs of weights and still use them. The bag held on for a long time but eventually didn’t make it. I now wish I would have appreciated the bag more. In the summer of 1962 I sprained my upper leg water skying at False River. After months of bed rest I was able to move about. The 1st time I was able to ride my bike I rode about 4 miles to Istrouma high. It was very painful. My plan was to see if I could run again. The school had isometric bars next to the track. So I headed over there. The Alvin Roy show demonstrated isometrics so I knew about them. There was a man doing wind sprints on the field. He saw me limping and struggling and came over to see what was wrong. It was Billy Cannon. He talked and help me with my exercises and gave me positive feedback. Will never forget that day. That was my Billy Cannon moment.
