I have been a lifetime member of The Cauliflower Alley Club for many years. In fact, I was honored by them in 2003. Unfortunately for many reasons, one of which was the final cancer stages and death of my wife Dianna, I have not attended in at least 6-7 years.
Well, this year the annual reunion was held on April 17th and 18th, in Las Vegas. "The fatman" was back in all my glory, and I had a blast. A number of photos were taken with my own camera, those below are just a few I would like to share with you. The only one the wasn't taken with my personal camera is the last one, and you can see who the photographer was for that one yourselves.

This photo was taken by my long time friend
Stone Cold Steve Austin with his smart phone.
I was presenting Bill Demott with the
2012 CAC Men's Wrester Award.
Needless to say, I had a fantastic time visiting with so many friends that I don't get to see very often, notwithstanding so many new young ring talents and wrestling fans. I will certainly do my best to make it back next year, in 2013. Why don't you consider making the trip yourselves? It will be an experience you will never forget.
Be Blessed.
