Good job, Tom, Roger and John, the “terrific trio” according to Dr. Ken Cooper. This was such an interesting walk through how the physical fitness movement began and even acknowledged the YMCA and Little League in the growth of our awareness of how physical fitness impacts every part of our lives and has integrated into many organizations. The work that was done with the armed services and their academies, the Secret Service, public safety and security agencies including the President's Council on Physical Fitness and individual school districts was thoughtfully presented with personal anecdotes and even family photos – awesome jogging suits through the years among them :-) Their programs were developed at the Cooper Institute in Texas and quickly spread internationally by these fitness missionaries.
