RED GETTING HIS PLAQUE
Red Lerille, Mr. America 1960

The event had more interest this year than most with the
Tribute to the 1960 Mr. America, Red Lerille, added to the program. A 10 minute 50-slide presentation of
his early life, from his 1^st gym to his current club success,
personal acclaim, and his children’s individual endeavors was enjoyed by
all. In the end it was Red
receiving a standing “O” from 1500
people shortly following the last slide.
Here is NPC Louisiana Chairman Luke Tesvich and event promoter Tommy
Guarisco presenting Red with a plaque in honor of his 1960 Mr. America title
and for all that he has done in the bodybuilding sport over 50 years as well as the Louisiana NPC
organization.

ROELLY ON STAGE

But this night the winners had to share the stage with a
guy from the Caribbean. Roelly
Winklaar, fresh in from the island after a big win in Chicago, gave the crowd
the biggest thrill of the night.
Roelly posed on stage and then ventured into the packed house as some
specatators was lucky enough to be on the row of seats Roelly choose to go down
and got a real nice close-up of the champ.
