Meeting with Milton T Moore Jr.    UPDATE

For the full story please read below. After meeting with Milton a few times over the year he said that he would like to update his book with 20 more pages, and not reissue the book as it is. The 20 pages would contain additional celebrities photo's signed to Steve. I have tried unsuccessfully to change his mind and told him that many fans would like to have his book just the way it is. At this point with all that we trying to accomplish I will move on to other projects. I wish Milton much success and hope he get it published. The first book sold somewhere around 1,200 copies. Milton is a great guy with his own vision about what he wants to do.  

Meeting with Milton T Moore Jr.    March 16, 2007

I met with Milton in Los Vegas where it all started for me with Steve Reeves International. When I went to Los Vegas to see a bodybuilding show in 1985 I purchased a book from that show called Steve Reeves One of a Kind from Steve Reeves who had a table selling Milton T. Moore Jr's book. Now 22 years later I have talked to Milton and plan to re-release his original book Steve Reeves One of a Kind. I have been trying for many years to have Milton release his book but he was not interested. After our meeting this week we agreed to work on several new projects together including re-releasing the book. Another project we will be working on is Milton Moore Jr. complete photo collection for the Steve Reeves fans. I will tell you more about this later. In case you don't know much about Milton he is one of the largest if not the largest collector of movie photograph in the world. He has more than 400,000 negatives in his collection and makes photos from his negatives. To find out more about Milton go to his web site at www.miltontmoorejr.com

Moved to the O.C.

In 2005 We have moved our operation south 70 miles from Malibu to Mission Viejo a South Orange County California town. Last year we purchase a home in the beautiful hills of Mission Viejo. Both of my daughters play club soccer for the Socal Blues and the drive down from our home was too much for us so we decided to move. My oldest daughters team won the National Championship this past year that was help at Disney's Wide World Of Sports complex in Orlando Florida. Her team is ranked #1 out of hundreds in the U.S.

We will keep our Post Office Box in Malibu for now but will also have one here in Mission Viejo. The city is located a few miles south of the Orange County airport (John Wayne International Airport). We're located just about 10 minutes from some of the greatest surfing beaches on the West Coast, where you will find me when I'm not working on Steve Reeves projects..
