WHEREAS, August 7, 2019, marks the 60th wedding anniversary | ||
of Dr. Kenneth and Millie Cooper, and this joyous event provides | ||
a fitting opportunity to reflect on their rewarding journey | ||
together as husband and wife; and | ||
WHEREAS, Kenneth and Millie Cooper exchanged the vows of | ||
matrimony on that memorable day in 1959; over the years, they | ||
have been blessed with a treasured family that includes their | ||
children, Berkley and Tyler, as well as their five grandchildren, | ||
with whom they enjoy spending many special occasions; and | ||
WHEREAS, Known as the father of aerobics, Dr. Cooper served | ||
for 13 years in the United States military, and while working as | ||
flight surgeon and director of the Aerospace Medical Laboratory, | ||
he developed fitness tests and conditioning programs that are | ||
still in use today; he sparked a national interest in exercise | ||
with the release of his first book, Aerobics, in 1968, and he has | ||
continued to promote cardiovascular fitness by founding The | ||
Cooper Institute in Dallas and through his involvement with | ||
numerous health and wellness companies; and | ||
WHEREAS, An early spokesperson for women's fitness, | ||
Mrs. Cooper was responsible for typing the original Aerobics | ||
manuscript, and she cowrote Aerobics for Women with her husband | ||
in 1972; in recognition of her efforts, she received the Sandi | ||
Haddock Impact Award from the American Heart Association in | ||
2016; and | ||
WHEREAS, The six decades of marriage that Dr. and | ||
Mrs. Cooper have shared is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of | ||
love and commitment, and their enduring union is an inspiration | ||
to all who know them; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Dr. Kenneth and Millie Cooper | ||
on their 60th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best | ||
wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
