Abstract:

Arnold Pope is one of the best caber tossers in the nation. He began weightlifting in high school and is currently a religion professor at Methodist College in Fayetteville. He has won the North Carolina Olympic-style lifting championships seventeen years in a row, and participates in the Scottish Games heptathlon each year. Arnold was the first American to win the caber toss in Scotland, and he credits much of his success to his wife, Barbara.\r\n
