Down Memory Lane Photo Gallery update

Now visiting the Down Memory Lane photo section has became easier for you to identify the photos. All you have to do is point your cursor(mouse) on the photo and the name of the person will appear in front of their photo. This is so "us" younger generation can identify our hero's in there earlier years.

A few of the names of the photos have the following message,"Please contact webmaster if you can identify this photo/person". Feel free to contact me at cacwebsite@triad.rr.com if you know the names of these people. With some of these photos being older than myself it is rather tough to identify some of them.

I hope you find this new addition to the photo gallery helpful. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please email the webmaster at cacwebsite@triad.rr.com or Exec. Vice President Karl Lauer at cac@caulifloweralleyclub.org

Check back often for more updates about CAC Reunion 2007!

We are not perfect

I recently received a letter from a CAC life member and old friend of over 20 years, in it he had a major complaint about the 2006 reunion, and after I read his letter and checked the tapes from the banquet and Friday night, I felt like we had done him and his guest a true injustice. I make no excuses for our mistake, it simple should not have happened. The writer of the letter is "Little" Joe Quevedo, he likes to be called Little Joe, he worked with and for me all during my promotions in California as head of security, in private life he is a real life private investigator and security specialist, and a valued friend for over 20 years. I am thankful that he was willing to write the letter and offer justified complaints and tell it like it is, we can only correct our errors if we know we made them.

Joe has bought a full table of 10 the week after each banquet for the next year, for the last several years and always brings with him 2 or 3 guests from Mexico, he was the first to bring Frey Tormenta, the wrestling priest from Mexico and other stars over the years, this last year he brought us the original Giant Killer from Mexico now a successful doctor in his own country, the legendary Rubin Juarez. Rubin who stands around 5'5" about made a lot of promoters a lot of money with his matches with the 7 foot plus Ernie Ladd. They must have had 25 or more matches and sold out every building and area with a large Hispanic population. In Los Angeles he was the number one star for over a year and then went all over the country as the giant killer, he introduced a lot of the moves we now see with the Mexican stars for the first time. Why do I tell you all this, because we did not recognize him or introduce him to those in attendance, he traveled a long way and left a good payday at his office and we just dropped the ball on the goal line. And I am sure there were some others who we missed, not intentionally, but one lousy sheet of paper with names on it, was misplaced and none of the 3 or 4 doing the Friday night or Saturday night awards realized it or had it.

In closing if you were there and did not get recognized or made to feel welcome, please accept our apology for our unorganized evening, We will correct this next April by coding all the attendees as they register and have a master list for the MC's. Thank you Little Joe for letting us know, and please call Rubin in Mexico and let him know.

RIP: "Hotline" Ric Carter

Dr. Mike Lano contacted the CAC and informed us CAC member, Ric Carter age 44 was killed yesterday when he stopped his car on the way to Mesquite to help out after another car had rolled over from a earlier accident. While he was helping, a hit & run driver hit Ric.

"Hotline" Ric Carter started a radio show on a 50,000 watt station in Vegas in 1988. Mike Lano was one of his weekly cohosts doing the Japan and Mexican wrestling news, along with Potshot Bill Kunkel and Mike Tenay(his first foray into broadcasting). Ric of course was the star and main host. He'd reffed at most of Moolah's LIWA conventions and resided in Las Vegas.

The Cauliflower Alley Club sends its thoughts & condolences to the Carter family during these sad times.
