I was an undergraduate PE Major at ASU from 1958-1960. I was one of many students in the Professional Activities series of classes who considered Fred a great teacher. He and Dr. Wegner taught us what we really needed to know about participating in and teaching physical education to all age groups of students. I went on to earn an MS and PhD - both in PE and now have 50+ years in public education with the last 30+ in the New Mexico Public Educatin Department. Fred would like that.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Thank you for him.
