	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 668
	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
	prepared for the couple as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas Senate.

	Hughes
