I lived in MA and I went to the building, I had a session with Mr. Khan, his sessions were about $10.00 at the time, and one did feel good after it. But I have been trying to find images of the building with his Superman sign, and although it was a landmark, I cannot find any.Perseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790508574163602241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-33099937217154121472019-11-24T18:38:37.453-05:002019-11-24T18:38:37.453-05:00Great stuff!

If I'd seen this before I did my research...well, let's say I'd not have posted my blog entry, I'd have just told people to read this.<br /><br />Ole Mayo, he was an odd one. It would appear that he firmly believed his own narrative. He convinced himself that he was Superman.

I am one of Mayo's relatives (a cousin), and I think that your last comment -- that the name is pronounced 'CONN,' as in 'con artist' -- is a cheap shot. I have always heard the name pronounced as 'Kahn.'<br /><br />FYI, Mayo did work as a chiropractor, and he also had a health club located on Route 1 (north of Boston, in Lynnfield) for years called 'House of Health.' The building was emblazoned with a cut-out of Mayo posing as Superman. skeletoncablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555195780712738369noreply@blogger.com
