The following letter was submitted to Superman Through the Ages! in June of 2006: Dear Sir, Are you aware that at the 1939 Worlds Fair held at Flushing Meadows, Queens in NYC there was a contest sponsored by 'Super Man' comics to select a 'Super Boy & Girl'. There was an entry coupon on the back of the comic book. I won the boys event and Maureen Reynolds won the girls. The judges were some notable people but Charles Atlas really was the deciding judge. I still have the trophy and photos taken of us also a photo appeared of us in the NY Times paper. After the event I visited the office of Superman comics and met the authors. I lived in Astoria, Queens at the time and I believe Maureen lived in Manhattan. Thought you would like to know. Thanks Bill Aronis Kingston, NY After winning the Super-boy contest, Bill Aronis went on to become a competetive weightlifter. In 1996, he was still competing and came in third in the World Masters in Baton Rouge, La. |
