How my student-athlete experience prepared me for where I am today
"I'm still using the same sound principles of physics and kinesiology in the training of the students and the high ethical standards set by Bud Beyer (gymnastics) and Bill Moye (swimming)."

My most memorable moment as a University of Chicago athlete
"My most memorable moments were receiving the Stagg Medal (1952) and performing in the Acrotheater shows."

What I am doing today, and how I got there
"Today, I teach children at three different gymnastics centers in the Miami, Florida area."
