This photograph was taken by Nancy Hock, in 2002, at the Schulenburg Family Fitness Center. Shown in the picture are: (from left) Tim Broheimer, Paul Prause (at age 39 1/2), and Felix Bach from Germany. The three of them lifted weights together during the Summer of 2002. Paul recalls that summer as being, "One of the happiest times in my life."

Paul, a Born Again Christian, is the Owner and Editor of The Flatonia Argus Newspaper. Paul and Brian, met in 1997 when Brian submitted a Christian editorial to the local newspaper. That led to a Bible study, Brian later became an employee for Paul for about a year, and the two have defended Christianity on numerous occasions around the Flatonia-Schulenburg area. They also pumped iron and did some cardiovscular training for several months in both Columbus and Schulenburg gyms.
