Steel Bending/breaking Contests Of The 1950’s

David,

Much appreciated the research and time you've put into that. I like it alot. I never realized the breaking thing was so popular back then.

I wished we still had the vadeville shows and stuff like that. I never see any kind of performances around me.

I'm not much into speed myself so I don't know if that's something I'll ever try but at least I'm contemplating it now.
