Abe Peck was an editor at Rolling Stone in San Francisco; Arnold Schwarzenegger was emerging beyond his muscles.

Abe was responsible for generating the first media buzz turning Arnold into the culture icon he has become.

I worked with Abe in Chicago several times, once, although he doesn't remember me, at Chicago's first Underground newspaper called The Seed. The second time was at the Chicago Daily News.

Arnold has only spoken to me twice; the first time when I took this photo, he told me I was fat. The next time many years later, he told me I was too thin.
