In the January 1971 Strength & Health, there is a photograph taken in Columbus with the caption 'Kolotov Chats with Capsouras.' Does anyone know what language or languages they were speaking?

As a soph at northern valley HS 1965 I wrestled Frank from Oradell HS.in NJ. Lost the match and drew another match for the Christmas tournament with Frank. He is very impressive.Great athelete. Hope he is happy and well.

I saw him clean and and jerk 355lbs at the Olympic tryouts, New York World's Fair, August 1964. He was 17 then and lifted as a light-heavyweight (182). The lift brought the house down.

Last American to set world record? Not too shabby

Frank trained me as a teenager. I was very fortunate to have that time with him. I will never forget it and his influence lives on in my life.

Frank was an honorable man. I learned so much under him about weightlifting. It's great to see him on this website.
