Yeah, I remember. It was in London at the 1978 Mr. Universe contest.
Dr. Darden – Who is the guy that Casey is shaking hands with – and the guy that is standing to Casey’s left?
Not Dr. D but the guy shaking hands with Casey looks very much like the late Peter Simpson (top level UK bodybuilder).
I think it’s Peter because he was one of the first Nautilus advocates in the UK, training out of the first Nautilus Gym I ever went to (in Pontefract, Yorkshire).
The guy on Casey’s left is Jim Flanagan. Jim was the general manager of Nautilus Sports/Medical Industries for many years.
Thanks much.

Thanks much, Dr. Darden. I remember hearing the name Jim Flanagan – but didn’t know what he looked like. Sounds like he might have been Jones’ right-hand-man in the business.
So that leaves the guy standing to your left. Who is/was he?
His name was Mike Phipps and he owned a Nautilus fitness club in England.
The guy who trained me in Pontefract was called Mike. It must be the same guy.
Mike was a super nice guy. He spent a week at the Nautilus headquarters in Florida learning about the machines and how to use them effectively.
