Ministering to Malaysia<br />

> I’m most pleased that the IHRSA Asia Pacific Forum was<br />

a great success and that your delegates enjoyed their time in<br />

Malaysia. I hope the National Fitness Council and IHRSA can<br />

continue to build on a strong foundation and cooperate on a<br />

variety of initiatives and programs. IHRSA’s tagline, “Success<br />

by Association,” is indeed very apt. My ministry officers will<br />

maintain an open line of communication with you. —|<br />

> Just a quick note to say congratulations to IHRSA on a very<br />

well organized and successful European Congress (despite<br />

having to deal with the French transit strikes!). The congress<br />

was very inspiring for me; I made some very good work contacts<br />

and reconnected with old friends!<br />

Next up, I’m really looking forward to presenting at the convention<br />

in San Diego! —|<br />

Arthur Appreciated<br />

| Letters |<br />

> The tribute to Arthur Jones in the December issue (see “An<br />

Appreciation: Arthur Jones,” pg. 42) was interesting. I’d just like<br />

to add that, more than anyone, he was responsible for starting<br />

the fitness revolution that’s now lasted for several decades.<br />

He simply made it “cool” to work out.<br />

By the way, I’m the guy with the beard in the photos of Arthur<br />

that accompanied the article. —|<br />

Paris to Portugal<br />

> It was a pleasure to attend the extraordinary European<br />

Congress in Paris. For my very first time participating in<br />

this event, it couldn’t have been better. Thank you!<br />

A special word on the importance of the panelists invited:<br />

I hope that, next year, the interest of these individuals stays as<br />

high as it was in Paris. I’m looking forward to seeing you next<br />

year in my hometown. —|<br />
