Dr. Pamela Peeke
“From the time I was a skinny tom boy hanging out of trees and frolicking with my brothers, I recall Jack LaLanne on the TV in those stretch pants and soft dance shoes. He was exercise. Who needed a cup of coffee when all you had to do was breathe in some of his endless energy. He will remain The Boss of the Body, an icon for generations to come. I aspire to carry his simple, energetic message to my multimedia audiences, as I push forward with the memory of his jumping jackets fondly tucked away in my heart…and my biceps!”
