    Years ago I unexpectedly ran into Arnold and Franco in Sun Valley Idaho during a trail run . They were very friendly and were interested in how my trail workout went. After 10 minutes of chatting we parted ways. It was truly an honor to meet these guys.

      May all the prayers not only go towards Franco's family, but to Arnold's too. I was really saddened by the lost of a friend in the perspective of Arnold because that's somebody he knew for practically his whole life. Parents, siblings, relatives, they are all people we will remember forever, but for the people we meet whom were in different wombs and that we consider as a brother or sister, those are the real hall of famers. R.I.P Franco.

    I went to see him in LA many years ago after suffering from a daily severe headache that was maddening. I had seen top medical doctors in London, New York and LA. Not one had found the cause of the problem.
    He asked me to take off my shirt (no other doctor had asked that) looked at me for maybe 30 seconds and told me my obliques were weak and needed strengthening. He said it was causing spasms and showed me on a chart the nerve that went from my obliques to my head . I was stunned that he identified that as the problem and was very sceptical. He gave me a length of rubber and told me to use it a couple of times a day tied to a doorknob and stretch my obliques with it.
    I have not had a headache since and that was nearly 30 years ago! He was right and knew more instantly than any of the very well known neurologists I had seen.
    I can truly say he made a huge difference to my life, I am very grateful and very sorry to hear of his passing.

      Hello Everyvody THIS IS MESSAGE FROM OUR LOVING GOD AND JESUS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. Can you contact me please❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
      Our God is the God of love's judgment and justice❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. After manmade the first sin: God was forced to remove people from paradise otherwise the paradise would have destroyed. That's why the. .d...l. is here because the first people experienced it. Same for everyone. God gives you the freedom to choose. God does not want anyones us to go hell. The judgment of hell is the same as sin will eventually lead to. The meaning of life is love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. We must accept Jesus because we received grace through this. Jesus is coming very very soon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. God gives the last warnings to the people. Thats why the forest's are burning all over the world. There are many Christians here in the Philippines so there is no forest fire.
      HELLO HOW ARE YOU? THIS WORLD IS GOING TO VERY BAD DIRECTION RIGHT NOW. IM SHOCKED HOW BAD EVERYTHING HAVE WENT. I HOPE YOU CONTACT ME. YOU NEED THIS WiSDOM AND I KNOW SO MUCH MORE. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY. I ONLY WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH. I HAVE SEND THIS SO MANY WORLDWIDE.
      GOD GAVE ME ALL THIS WISDOM❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. THINK ABOUT THIS PLEASE: HOW THOSE BIRDS WOULD HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT WINGS? WHY BERRIES AND FRUITS TASTE SO GOOD? I SEND ONLY THESE TWO QUESTIONS TO EVOLUTION PROFESSOR AND NOTHING CAME BACK. THEY ALSO SAY EVOLUTION PUT CAMOFLASH TO ANIMALS TO SURVIVE. WHY THEN PANTHER EXAMPLE IS BLACK. MEAPY THEY SAY ITS BLACK BECAUSE ITS A NIGHT TIME HUNTER. I DONT REMEMBER IS IT NIGHT TIME HUNTER OR NOT BUT IF ITS: HOW WOULD EVOLUTION KNOW WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE TO PUT BLACK COLOR? HOW WOULD EVOLUTION KNOW TO PUT RABBIT A WHITE COLOR WHEN IS WINTER AND BROWN COLOR WHEN ITS SUMMER WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE? THEY PROBABLY SAY EVOLUTION DEVELOPS ANIMALS WHERE THEY LIVE: WHY THEN WHALES HAVE LUNGS AND FISHES GILLS? AND THEY ALSO SAY LEGS DEVELOP TO FISHES AND IT WAS FROG OR SOMETHING FINALLY:
      THEY BRAKE THEIR OWN LOGIC WHEN THEY SAY THAT! AND HOW ABOUT FISH GILLS? FISH GILLS SHOULD ALSO TURN INTO LUNGS. ITS INPOSSIBLE AND THEY BRAKE THEIR OWN LOGIC AGAIN! AND HOW ABOUT PLANTS: THEY SAY PLANTS DEVELOPED IN THE SEA! HOW THOSE PLANTS AND TREES THEN CAME TO LAND? I HEARD SOMEBODY OF THOSE EVOLUTION THEORIST TOLD: PLANTS AND TREES WALKED. HOW COULD THE EVOLUTION ALSO DEVELOP FOOD TO ANIMALS, LIKE BERRIES AND PLANTS WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE. EVOLUTION DONT HAVE INTELLIGENCE BUT IT DEVELOP EVERYTHING WHAT WE, ANIMALS AND THIS WORLD NEED! ONLY GOD CAN CREATE LIFE AND EVERYTHING WHAT WE NEED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. I WAS SO SICK AND I WAS SURE IM GOING TO DIE BUT AFTER MY MOTHER SAW THREE VISIONS OF JESUS AND ONE ANGEL VISION MY HEALTH CAME BACK VERY FASTLY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. e..l is running now and try to destroy us all! hell is real and I saw how terrible those horrible e...s are and dont give. US ANY MERCY. GOD AND JESUS WANT TO SAVE US😥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. AFTER I STARTED TALK I HAVE LOST SO MANY FRIENDS😥. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE evolution is a lie. AFTER I SEND THIS TO DAVID ATTENBOROUGH I LOST MY RIGHTS
      TO GO IN FACEBOOK AND I CANT COMMENT TO UA-cam TOO. FINNISH NEWSPAPERS ALSO BLOCK MY STORIES. THOSE HOW BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION TELL WE ARE ABOUT 2-2.5 MILLION YEAR OLD. THEN EXPLAIN THIS THEY ALSO TELL EARTH HAD 252 MILLION PEOPLE WHEN WE START TO CALCULATE OUR TIME 2019 YEARS AGO. HOW THEY CAN KNOW THAT ITS INPOSSIBLE! DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT EXAMPLE EVERY 100 YEAR. YOU ARE GONNA SEE ITS INPOSSIBLE. AND THIS IS ONLY DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. MY FATHER TEACHED IN SCHOOL AND CALCULATED THIS VERY QUICKLY: 252X10POTENSSIIN6X2POTENSSIIN20=2,64×10POTENSSIIN14 250 MILLION 500 1000 2000 4000 8000 16000 32000 64000 128000 256000 512000 1024000 2048000 4096000 8192000 16384000 32768000 65536000 131072000
      AND WHEN WE TAKE 131072000MILLION÷EARTHS POPULATION 7530 MILLION=17406,6 TIMES HIGHER WHAT WE HAVE NOW. THOSE EVOLUTIONIST LIE TO US. e..l is working and try to destroy. us. PUT SMALL NUMBER EXAMPLE 10000 AND CALCULATE HOW THAT EXBLODES. OVER A THOUSAND SCIENTIST HAVE APPEALED THAT THEY NO LONGER BELIEVE IN THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. THE LIST JUST GROWS ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN FIND THAT VIDEO ON UA-cam:
      ua-cam.com/video/xQgOjHsMEeE/v-deo.html
      WITHOUT GODS GUIDANCE I WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND CALCULATE THIS. I PRAY AND HOPE YOU SHARE THIS OTHER PEOPLE TOO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. PLEASE READ ISAIAH 24 IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING NOW! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: IN MARK 13, JESUS TELLS WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE HE COMES. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🙏.

    Back in 2001 I helped Franco’s production company “Eclipse Entertainment.” The leadership of the company was overally surprised I knew about Franco. Franco personalized his book and had 5 of his books sent to me , personally. I have admired this man for 25 years and knew him long before that. He wishes better health for all of his fans (this I can attest). I still have 4 of his books including the personalized encyclopedia. I even showed my mom I got a book from the Terminator. Today I work in an Italian neighborhood and passed the word on to the Italian community. This was a truly gracious man, virtuous beyond his years. For this who really knew him as fans like me, we rooted for his longevity. We leave that to the Lord. I can attest, however, that he wishes a long and prosperous life for you and insomuch I still believe he held some of those keys that can unlock that for you. Franco was a man worth admiring. Keep pumping. - JFK P.S. I pass on the same “Best Wishes” Franco bestowed on me in 2001 while we worked in business in harmony together.

      Hello professor Divine and You all nice peoples please read this because later You see infornation what they dont want me to tell. I can only use email anymore.
      Hello Everyvody THIS IS MESSAGE FROM OUR LOVING GOD AND JESUS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. Can you contact me please❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏
      Our God is the God of love's judgment and justice❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. After manmade the first sin: God was forced to remove people from paradise otherwise the paradise would have destroyed. That's why the. .d...l. is here because the first people experienced it. Same for everyone. God gives you the freedom to choose. God does not want anyones us to go hell. The judgment of hell is the same as sin will eventually lead to. The meaning of life is love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. We must accept Jesus because we received grace through this. Jesus is coming very very soon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏. God gives the last warnings to the people. Thats why the forest's are burning all over the world. There are many Christians here in the Philippines so there is no forest fire.
      HELLO HOW ARE YOU? THIS WORLD IS GOING TO VERY BAD DIRECTION RIGHT NOW. IM SHOCKED HOW BAD EVERYTHING HAVE WENT. I HOPE YOU CONTACT ME. YOU NEED THIS WiSDOM AND I KNOW SO MUCH MORE. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY. I ONLY WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH. I HAVE SEND THIS SO MANY WORLDWIDE.
      GOD GAVE ME ALL THIS WISDOM❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. THINK ABOUT THIS PLEASE: HOW THOSE BIRDS WOULD HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT WINGS? WHY BERRIES AND FRUITS TASTE SO GOOD? I SEND ONLY THESE TWO QUESTIONS TO EVOLUTION PROFESSOR AND NOTHING CAME BACK. THEY ALSO SAY EVOLUTION PUT CAMOFLASH TO ANIMALS TO SURVIVE. WHY THEN PANTHER EXAMPLE IS BLACK. MEAPY THEY SAY ITS BLACK BECAUSE ITS A NIGHT TIME HUNTER. I DONT REMEMBER IS IT NIGHT TIME HUNTER OR NOT BUT IF ITS: HOW WOULD EVOLUTION KNOW WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE TO PUT BLACK COLOR? HOW WOULD EVOLUTION KNOW TO PUT RABBIT A WHITE COLOR WHEN IS WINTER AND BROWN COLOR WHEN ITS SUMMER WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE? THEY PROBABLY SAY EVOLUTION DEVELOPS ANIMALS WHERE THEY LIVE: WHY THEN WHALES HAVE LUNGS AND FISHES GILLS? AND THEY ALSO SAY LEGS DEVELOP TO FISHES AND IT WAS FROG OR SOMETHING FINALLY:
      THEY BRAKE THEIR OWN LOGIC WHEN THEY SAY THAT! AND HOW ABOUT FISH GILLS? FISH GILLS SHOULD ALSO TURN INTO LUNGS. ITS INPOSSIBLE AND THEY BRAKE THEIR OWN LOGIC AGAIN! AND HOW ABOUT PLANTS: THEY SAY PLANTS DEVELOPED IN THE SEA! HOW THOSE PLANTS AND TREES THEN CAME TO LAND? I HEARD SOMEBODY OF THOSE EVOLUTION THEORIST TOLD: PLANTS AND TREES WALKED. HOW COULD THE EVOLUTION ALSO DEVELOP FOOD TO ANIMALS, LIKE BERRIES AND PLANTS WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE. EVOLUTION DONT HAVE INTELLIGENCE BUT IT DEVELOP EVERYTHING WHAT WE, ANIMALS AND THIS WORLD NEED! ONLY GOD CAN CREATE LIFE AND EVERYTHING WHAT WE NEED❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. I WAS SO SICK AND I WAS SURE IM GOING TO DIE BUT AFTER MY MOTHER SAW THREE VISIONS OF JESUS AND ONE ANGEL VISION MY HEALTH CAME BACK VERY FASTLY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. e..l is running now and try to destroy us all! hell is real and I saw how terrible those horrible e...s are and dont give. US ANY MERCY. GOD AND JESUS WANT TO SAVE US😥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. AFTER I STARTED TALK I HAVE LOST SO MANY FRIENDS😥. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE evolution is a lie. AFTER I SEND THIS TO DAVID ATTENBOROUGH I LOST MY RIGHTS
      TO GO IN FACEBOOK AND I CANT COMMENT TO UA-cam TOO. FINNISH NEWSPAPERS ALSO BLOCK MY STORIES. THOSE HOW BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION TELL WE ARE ABOUT 2-2.5 MILLION YEAR OLD. THEN EXPLAIN THIS THEY ALSO TELL EARTH HAD 252 MILLION PEOPLE WHEN WE START TO CALCULATE OUR TIME 2019 YEARS AGO. HOW THEY CAN KNOW THAT ITS INPOSSIBLE! DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT EXAMPLE EVERY 100 YEAR. YOU ARE GONNA SEE ITS INPOSSIBLE. AND THIS IS ONLY DOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE. MY FATHER TEACHED IN SCHOOL AND CALCULATED THIS VERY QUICKLY: 252X10POTENSSIIN6X2POTENSSIIN20=2,64×10POTENSSIIN14 250 MILLION 500 1000 2000 4000 8000 16000 32000 64000 128000 256000 512000 1024000 2048000 4096000 8192000 16384000 32768000 65536000 131072000
      AND WHEN WE TAKE 131072000MILLION÷EARTHS POPULATION 7530 MILLION=17406,6 TIMES HIGHER WHAT WE HAVE NOW. THOSE EVOLUTIONIST LIE TO US. e..l is working and try to destroy. us. PUT SMALL NUMBER EXAMPLE 10000 AND CALCULATE HOW THAT EXBLODES. OVER A THOUSAND SCIENTIST HAVE APPEALED THAT THEY NO LONGER BELIEVE IN THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. THE LIST JUST GROWS ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN FIND THAT VIDEO ON UA-cam:
      ua-cam.com/video/xQgOjHsMEeE/v-deo.html
      WITHOUT GODS GUIDANCE I WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND CALCULATE THIS. I PRAY AND HOPE YOU SHARE THIS OTHER PEOPLE TOO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏. PLEASE READ ISAIAH 24 IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING NOW! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: IN MARK 13, JESUS TELLS WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE HE COMES. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🙏.
