Holland for the 14th year in May. Sue and
Bob took a two week Rhine River cruise
with former VP Eric Harbottle and his wife
Merry this summer. Finally, after months
of searching the Bouchers are pleased to
announce they recently got a new puppy,
a golden retriever of course, almost pure
white in colour, and an IQ of 120!
Marliese Kimmerle
Marliese is enjoying retirement and
only visited HK briefly this semester to
teach Practice, Theory & Analysis of Dance
between Kayaking in Sarasota this winter,
and a paddle board yoga trip to Northern
Edge Algonquin this summer.
Alan Metcalfe
Al congratulates granddaughter Mckenna Lumley
who completed her annual walk with the “The
Pajama Witches” with funds raised going to the
Brain Tumor Foundation.
Fourteen years into retirement and Alan
is still located in the corner office he had
for 43 years. He still comes into the Faculty
nearly every day and is still trying to get
his manuscript finished. Alan must admit
that it is getting more difficult; however,
he does enjoy interacting with the young
faculty members - they are a fine group of
academics. Alan also still enjoys driving
and last year drove to California—a great
experience.
Dick Moriarty
It is almost the 50th Anniversary of the
University of Windsor (2013) and is Dick
Moriarty’s 60th year at the school (Assumption
College 1952-1956, Assumption
University of Windsor 1957-1962, and University
of Windsor 1963-2012). He says
he has been lucky to have known many
faculty, staff and students during this
time. He has fond memories of many of
you. His remembrances of these years in
school and sports are recorded on the Human
Kinetics website. Included with these
are great sections on Women’s Sports by
Dr. Marge Holman and exciting post 1985
years recorded by Dr. Bob Boucher during
his years as Athletic Director and Dean.
Dick thanks the current Dean, Dr. Michael
Khan for authorizing this web site as well
as Sylvia Jimenez, Richard Dumala and Diane
Dupuis for setting up the web site with
the assistance of work study students over
the years including Danielle McGibbon,
Emily Duncan and Mona Davis. If you wish
to add some of your own interesting or historical
facts on school and sports, send updates
to dickm@uwindsor.ca.

Dr. Pat J. Galasso
Founding Dean of Human Kinetics
Fifteen years ago I lost a member of my family to the dreaded disease, cancer.
That same year, another member of my family was struck by the same issue. In this
latter case, to make a long story short, after a lumpectomy, radiation was recommended
and rejected. Instead, a list of nutrients, obtained from Dr. Abram Hoffer,
a practitioner in Orthomolecular Medicine, was imbibed from the point of detection
and served to support this family member who is still alive ten years beyond the point
when individuals are designated as survivors.
Over the past fifteen years, I have spent thousands of hours collecting information
dealing with health issues. I am a member of both the Canadian Society for
Orthomolecular Medicine and the International body. What I have found is that
there are solutions for the vast majority of health issues through nutrition, nutrients
and lifestyle management. In simple terms, nutrients are taken to enable the
body to heal itself. Dr. Hoffer’s books and the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine
are excellent sources of information. For career purposes, this approach is taught
at the Canadian Naturopathic College in Toronto.
For personal and professional reasons I would like to recommend that Human
Kinetics students and graduates would be well served by conducting their own investigation
in this area of wellness. All the very best to all of you who have shared
a Human Kinetics experience with me. We owe it to ourselves and to others never
to stop learning!
Dick invites you to drop in at Room
#119 to visit with him and new arrivals
Bob Boucher and Marge Holman as well
as ‘hold overs’ Cec Eaves and Marliese
Kimmerle.
