The World's Strongest Man

Michael_dorizas

Acclaimed as the world's strongest man, Michael Dorizas of Philadelphia Lodge 51 literally walked around the world, surviving a revolt in Turkey and overcoming bandits in both Russia and China.  A three-time Olympian, the gentle giant earned a Ph.D and taught geography at the University of Pennsylvania.  From 1914-1916, Brother Michael was undefeated intercollegiate heavyweight wrestling champion.  Amazingly, he pinned every single opponent he faced in less than a minute.
