For those who do not already know, Oscar Heidenstam ran NABBA for around 50 years, until his death on 21st March, 1991. He was born in Cyprus on 27 February 1911.
The OH Memorial Trust was inaugurated by Malcolm Whyatt in March, 1991, in memory of Oscar and to honour the great bodybuilders past and present. In October 1994 the name of The Oscar Heidenstam Memorial Trust was changed to The Oscar Heidenstam Foundation. That is the name we will use throughout the description of this wonderful and historic DVD series.
The Oscar Heidenstam Foundation honours and gives financial and other awards to exceptional able bodied and disabled persons associated with various sports categories, who by their endeavour and ambassadorship serve and inspire others.
The glittering Hall of Fame Dinner is held annually on the third Saturday in March each year on the anniversary of Oscar's death.

Pearls of Wisdom - Bill Pearl
This DVD is genuinely one of the rarest in my collection. Very little footage exists on the great BILL PEARL, author of "Keys to the Inner Universe" and other well known books. He is also probably one of the world's greatest bodybuilding trainers. Bill has been the force behind many of the world's top physiques for the past 30 years, including the great Chris Dickerson, Mr. Olympia 1982. This DVD is also a tribute to the late Dennis Tinerino.
