![]() It was a sad day at Boogie's Wrestling Camp yesterday as we held a special ceremony in honor of the memory of our BWC Brother, James 'Megatron' Gregory. We were all saddened by his passing, but the day was also a fond remembrance of the life & wrestling/weightlifting career of our dear friend, James. Boogie told his favorite Megatron story about the time he took James to lift weights at Virginia Tech. Then we had a time of prayer, followed by a ten bell salute. It was a personal honor for me to be able to pray and ring the bell for the ceremony. Megatron was a former BWC Champion & a Special Olympics gold medalist. He had complete confidence that he could beat any of the top wrestling stars in a match. To us, Megatron was a big wrestling star himself. He earned the right to call himself a BWC legend & will always be remembered as just that. A legend & a champion, a brother & a friend. I was personally honored to publish a one-shot mini-comic many years back starring Megatron which I handed out to all who attended the memorial. Megatron JG as he was known, made many. many appearances in my Boogieland comic strip & even had his very own storyline more than once. He also appeared in my Magnet Man Meets Bigfoot short-film. He was there the day I visited BWC for the first time, so from the very beginning he was a big part of my camp experience. I even got the chance to take part in one of Megatron's matches. I managed Bulldozer in a match against Megatron for the BWC belt. Megatron got the big victory & successfully defended his title & I earned the right to say I was a very small part of Megatron's legendary career. We will all miss you Megatron. You will live on in our hearts always! Your BWC Family loves you!

Howdy. I had studied the Bible with James, though we called him David, and he liked that. I wrote him a letter, which came back with the word "deceased" penciled in. I really liked that guy, and he had a rich background in the Bible. Please contact me about him.
