    I met Anthony Joachim coming out of a drainage tunnel while running along PCH in my post college days while training at UCLA with coach Tellez invthe mud 70s we took him home
    I met Anthony Joachim coming out of a drainage tunnel while running along PCH in my post college days while training at UCLA with coach Tellez in the mid 70s. My buddy Wyatt and I took him home.

    That night we went to a party his housemates invited us to with many actors from the thee uh Tuhr. They made sure we pronounced it correctly. Such nice folks to invite two Texans to tye oarty. I remembered his name after these forty years plus and always wondered if I'd see him in a movie. Today I watched the one I'd recorded last night. Joe Dakota. I was 6 years old when this movie was made. JM was also a great actor that missed out on being he big guy he fouldve been.
