JOE WEIDER DAY, JULY 9, 2007

Governor Schwarzenegger honored Joe with a special day at the state capitol in Sacramento.  He was given a tribute on the legislative floor and Arnold made a special appearance—it is a great rarity for a Governor to enter the legislative arena—to speak on behalf of his friend and mentor.  The lawmakers crowded Joe and we see here a sample of the photographs taken in the arena.  There is no greater recognition or appreciation that Governor Schwarzenegger could bestow.
