History
Fit Center Newsletter Articles
Most of my writing and most of the "products" described on this website are
serious, if not scholarly, activities, including heavily-researched mining
history and family genealogy. But, I also enjoy writing humor, and finally found
an outlet to express this deviation of my personality. The articles listed below
were printed in the monthly newsletter of Tucson Arizona's Fit Center, a
2600-hundred member exercise and fitness facility for adults over the age of 50
and those with medical needs. (See http://www.azfitcenter.com/) Generally, these
"Gym Rat Rantings" are specific to the gym, i.e., they mention gym people
and gym activities. But you should be able to follow the story lines and perhaps
get a chuckle out of one or two of them. Thanks to Shelley, the Fit Center
Manager; her son Tyler; Membership Chairperson, Joy; a specially gifted
instructor and trainer, Lynne; and Pat, who shares my life, for providing the
material described in these columns.
