Celebrating Nine Decades of a Truly Storied Life

Known as the "father of aerobics," Dr. Cooper has dedicated his 64-year medical career to investigating the links between cardiorespiratory fitness, good health and longevity. He has helped millions improve the quality and quantity of people’s lives.
When Dr. Cooper published his first bestseller, Aerobics, in 1968, he not only introduced a new word to our vocabulary but also a new concept to the world—exercise or working out as we call it today. Dr. Cooper is recognized as the leader of the international physical fitness movement and credited with motivating more people to exercise in pursuit of good health than any other person.
He has spent his life making a difference and you can, too!

- His birthday wish is to continue the vital health-changing research and education of The Cooper Institute® 501(c)(3). 100% of your donation goes toward research to help people live a longer, healthier life.

Dear Dr Cooper,
Belated birthday greetings from "little old England." And many happy returns of the day(!)- I do believe you have earned it! I first read "The aerobics program for total well-being" in the 1980s and am re-reading it as we "speak."
God bless you!

Dear Dr. Cooper, It's months past your March birthday, so I apologize that I am just now running across this opportunity to wish you a Happy Belated 90th Birthday. One of the greatest gifts in my life, was when you took me in as a new patient in one of your rare moments of having an opening. God knew I needed your help, and your diagnosis/insight solved my issue, plus put me on a path to much greater health which I continue to maintain.
A zillion thank yous would not be enough to express my appreciation for all that you did for me, and do for everyone around you. You genuinely care, for each person that you know, and want the best for their well being. Your life is a blessing, and I am grateful to God, to have had the opportunity to be under your great and genuine care for my well being. Thank you for your dedication, inspiration, and most importantly, being a radiant light as a Christian through your profession.

Happy happy birthday. Your book changed my life. I was a thin kid who got married at 25, I gained pounds by 30 and was having trouble going on a diet. I read your book in 68 it motivated me to start running. I lost 40 lb , and have run over 70,000 miles. Since 71 I have run or walked almost everyday.

Hey Ken,
I studied your book in the early 80s and continue to enjoy the great health and positive benefits of 20min aerobics. I'm 64 and crushing it!
Thank you so much for the amazing body of work,research and heart you pored into all this.
Happy Belated Birthday

Dr. Cooper,
When you first came to Dallas, you put an ad in the paper, inviting everyone to meet you in the Highland Park High School parking lot, where we would take the 12-minute fitness test. A few people showed up, one took a picture of you and me, we took the test. I bought your "Aerobics" book. I hope you have the best birthday ever! You probably do not remember me. What kind of pictures do you like? Animals, people, landscaping, etc.?! I would like to send you a birthday present through the mail.

Happy 90th birthday Dr. Cooper!! What a wonderful inspiration you truly are! I had the honor of meeting you during our company’s health conference at The Cooper Institute for Alliance Data several years ago. I really wish I could focus on exercising more for myself but I’ve been so busy caring for both of my aging parents in their mid-80s. My dad has Parkinson’s and is bedridden and my mom is a two-time cancer survivor but a very strong-willed lady for such a short fragile woman!! Maybe some day I’ll be able to focus on me. Again such a pleasure meeting you in person and I hope you are enjoying your 90th celebration this year. You look awesome!!!! Thanks for all your encouragement!!

Dear Dr Cooper,
Greetings from Singapore.
I came to know about you and aerobic exercise in 1989. That information changed me for the better and made me a lifelong advocate of the Kenneth Cooper approach to health and wellness through correct exercise.
Over the years I "morphed" from computer geek to sports and exercise therapist. I quit smoking and drinking and am on a primarily plant based diet.
Thank you for the greatest gift one human can give another - the means to take control of your destiny.
Have a Blessed 90th Birthday.

Dr Cooper,
I had the pleasure and honor to talk with you last Thursday while you were faithfully working out. For the last 12 plus years, I have been a patient of your wellness clinic and a patient of Dr. Riva Rahl. When I fly in from Atlanta, I know I will get to see you if I am in the club at 5 p.m. You truly are a leader among leaders and certainly demonstrate by example. My nutritionist, Gillian White, I ran into literally working out before she started work and during lunch on the track. Dr. Rick Wilson and now Dr. Gottesman are also world class as you know. The business community in Atlanta knows my passion about going to the Cooper Clinic and training for the stress test! I would have been a better leader if I would have taken just one day for my preventive exam as it provides a roadmap for how to age backwards! Cheers to you Dr. Cooper for helping ME be a better ME. Happy Birthday for all of 2021!

Dear Dr. Cooper, I read your book in 1978 when I was 28. I began jogging and stuck with it. It became an indispensable part of my life. I was never interested in marathons and all that and I confess I don't really enjoy weight training. But I still jog/power walk for an hour 3-4 times a week. I am now 71, healthy, normal weight, sleep well. I credit you for your wonderful book introducing me to Aerobics. Thank you SO much! I hope you had a wonderful birthday. In your pictures it looks like you're still going strong!

Dr. Cooper,
So enjoyed your presentation at Ventana today and totally agree with your entire strategy. I have had five relatives with dementia which now includes my husband. I know his lifestyle had a huge impact in his Alzheimer's progress.
I follow all your recommendations and am considering joining your clinic.
I wish you a very happy 90th! You are an inspiration to us all!
Blessings to you.

Happy 90th birthday 🥳!!! I had the great honor of meeting & working w/ you, Dr. Steven Blair & Ruth Ann Carpenter, RDN, as a CI post-graduate Intern after completing my Masters in Kinesiology in 2004. It was surely one of the highlights of my professional career.
I remember you saying in one of your lectures that you planned to “Square off the curve,” like your mother did. I do believe you will do just that! God Bless You & Keep You!” BRG the RD”

Hi Dr. Cooper. I am 82 years old and been following your program off and on since 1976. For a period I got in the “excellent” category and felt wonderful. Probably now the “fair” category - still ok. But it’s about you. Happy birthday and thank you for your programs and a common sense way to measure fitness. I read “the Cooperized" each month with much enjoyment. Again best wishes to you, your family and team. Regards from an Aussie fan. Wow!!! 90 now that’s a great achievement.

Happy Birthday and thank you for what you have done with my life. I classify myself as a original Cooper Pooper. I had a health issue in 1969. Took out high risk insurance as I thought the end was near. Went thru all the test and found out I was not going to die. I was 35 years old, trying to build a building and development business. Smoked, drank and weighed 285 at 6’4. My insurance man gave me your first book. I sat at the kitchen table at 4 in the am reading and trying to run. Took me almost 6 mo. to cover a mile non stop. Two years later I was rated back to normal and down came the insurance. I am religious to the point program and still hop on my air-dyne for a quick workout. Over the years I have done marathons and century’s The base line for my point total each week is 48. My Dr. who is a HMD (Dr Frank Shallenberger) says I am amazing after each annual physical. I am 87 years old. Thanks again Dr. Cooper. from a faithful “Cooper Pooper

Happy Birthday from the gal from Pauls Valley, OK! I have loved being a member at Cooper since '97, chatting with you about your days in Pauls Valley interning under Dr. James Lindsey, my leading your son in Young Life back in the late 80s, praying for mutual friends (Joe White) and seeing you age with grace and dignity. What a joy it’s been to have a front row seat of your accomplishments and your contributions to the health of the American people! Here’s to many more great years and accomplishments!

In the early 1960s when I went into my Ophthalmology practice in Preston Center, I began hearing of Dr. Kenneth Cooper also entering practice in Preston Center. I found his book on aerobic exercise. After reading Dr. Cooper’s book, I was certain his concepts were valid and favorable for health. Not long after I scheduled a physical which included a stress test. I barely made it into the “fair” category. I began exercising and made a vow to return every 2 years and beat Ken's stress test time since he is only 6 month older.
I started running and I have kept it up ever since.
All of this because of the influence of Ken Cooper. As I observe runners today, I am certain it is because of the influence Ken Cooper has had on running and aerobic exercise.
Thank you, Ken, for the many years of dedication you have given to your profession and the improvement of health of many who put their sneaker to the pavement. Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Dr. Cooper! It was an absolute honor to work at the Cooper Fitness Center as a personal trainer and a highlight of my life to actually meet you, Dr. Cooper, the "Father of Modern Aerobics!" Your bravery, perseverance, genuine care, and tireless work ethic have, literally, changed the world, countless lives, and our knowledge of exercise forever. Perhaps even more astounding, your humble and kind nature place you in a realm all your own. Thank you, Doctor Cooper! Happy, happy birthday!
Stephanie Rosenberg

Dear Dr. Cooper, I do wish you all the best, a lot of health and further happy and fulfilled years. Thanks to you my life is ruled by fitness activities always in mind how many points I made with the latest exercise, during one week, ... With an age of 14 or 15 I read your book Aerobics in the early 80s. I was an unsportive boy and turned to be a triathlete! Thank you for this change in mind! Sportive greetings and best wishes to you!

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper. I was part of the AAC Director Team back in the early to mid 80s. As an Associate Physical Director I taught group fitness (or as referred Aerobic dance,) and directed the Strength Training programming. Being associated with the Cooper Fitness Center and Aerobics Activity Center was life changing. Your inspiration as a leader and innovator in Wellness, Fitness and Research was and still is cutting edge in delivering what the world and fitness industry needs to stay grounded in the original Aerobics culture.

I am joining health professionals, sportsmen and sportswomen from all around the world in wishing Dr. Cooper happy 90th birthday! I wish that his vision of a more active and healthy society becomes even more widespread across the United States and beyond! His dedication and work were always true inspiration to me personally and to the Hungarian School Sport Federation. It was his Cooper Institute that helped us with developing our health-focused national fitness assessment system which is already in use since 2015 and which provides essential longitudinal data on the health fitness of Hungarian students. I do hope that such great achievements give Dr. Cooper further strength and endurance to keep fulfilling his dream. Hungarian School Sport Federation

Dr. Cooper,
It’s been a great pleasure, an education and an inspiration knowing you. You have been a large part of my life for over 50 years. From our introduction in 1969, via your “Aerobics” book, through your encouragement at my last check up to, “keep a close eye on the Mitral Value issue."
While attending Boston Bouve’ College, your book was mandatory reading and many of the staff and students at Northeastern University, were inspired to participate in the Boston Marathon, due to your informative “preventive medicine” concept. Thanks for disseminating your thoughts and research to the masses. What a great gift you have given the world.
Thank you for practicing what you preach and giving us all a great example of the rewards that can be received via fitness and life balance. Wishing you another decade of a healthy and happy life.
Jim Steenbergen

It has been wonderful meeting with and learning from you. Growing up in Zimbabwe and South Africa, we referred to exercise as 'Aerobics'. Our school would give us wall posters for the cardio workout for all grades, and we enjoyed it with our school classmates. At home, I would do aerobics with my two older sisters. My kids in a Dallas school followed the FitnessGram, where they knew how the tests were administered and what the exercises were. Thank you for inspiring me to want to take care of my health and fitness, take supplements and vitamins, and make healthy lifestyle choices.

Happy Birthday! To the Doctor who helped change my life. I read Aerobics about 40 years ago and never looked back! Finally, I had science to apply to my exercise and health. I can measure efforts and see my progress and slacking.

Belated birthday greetings Dr. Cooper. I hope you celebrated well and look forward to many more. In the 1970s you certainly inspired me to recognize the value of aerobic exercise/fitness for/to health. In 1986 I was appointed as Great Britain's first Local Authority Community Fitness Officer, and whatever we did in our 'Wear Fit' Campaign always had your pioneering work in either the background or at the forefront. Our leisure team had the privilege of coming to one of your lecture presentations in Newcastle, England. Now I am retired, I try to practice some of what your ground-breaking research taught me, for health; being fit to help others; my Masters Athletics competitions. It keeps me motivated, and, as I am trying to follow your example, it is very much thanks to you! Best Wishes.
Kevin Archer

Happy birthday, and God bless you!
I read your book in the early 1970s, and I trained for track by using your point system! I had to run a certain number of points each week! I ran 90 miles per week as an 8th and 9th grader, and did very well!
All the best.

Dr. Cooper, way back in the '80s you treated our little, but frighteningly destructive, Indian Guide patrol with a steady and measured hand. Despite our efforts to build blazing 5-alarm fires or run around with torches in your backyard, I always felt welcome. Your leadership and work ethic are hallmarks, as you live out one of my dad's favorite quotes: "If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!". While not everyone can fill 4 minutes of distance run with a full mile as you did, we can aspire to live a life as full as you are living. Another, more eternally enduring author, penned this verse I see you living out, "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." I'm thankful for your leadership in both these areas, which have blessed many. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Dr. Cooper! Whether you've known it or not, you've been an example and mentor to for over thirty years. Your example of a life lived with the right priorities in mind (faith, family, purpose) have taught me and others so much about a life well-lived. Thank you for the gift of your family, the gift of your example, and the gift of countless meals throughout the years! Wishing you all the best on your 90th.

Dr. Cooper,
Happy Birthday!
Sorry I did not see this till today. I pray you had a wonderful and fulfilling birthday. I greatly appreciate the time you spent with me. Your writings and research have been part of my life since the early 1980s. The world is indeed a finer place having had you in it for the last 90 years. Let's hope your next 90 years is just as fruitful! Hey, think positive. Thank you for all that you do and for all you have done.

Dr. Cooper,
The best is yet to come. I have been privileged to see family and friends live to 90 and beyond. My Cherokee grandmother was 103 when she passed peacefully and strong in 2006. A farmer by trade. Working The Dallas Farmers markets for years kept her active and agile. I was so blessed to be able to take the last many years to be with her to keep her in the comfort of home.
I wish I were in Texas to see you and how your own health system has brought you into your 90s. I can only imagine with poise. Grace. And ease.
I am looking forward to that mark myself in the years to come.
Many blessings fir the next 10-15 years ahead.
With a little Texas Aloha,

Happy Birthday, Dr. Cooper! It was a true honor for my colleagues and me to meet you at a healthy aging event several years ago! You and your wife were so kind to our group and we were thankful to get a photo to commemorate the time spent together! Wishing you continued health for many years to come!

It seems just like yesterday that we all met as Tyler and I went to Baylor. Since then, there are too many stories to tell. Touring all around Europe and countless ski trips to Beaver Creek. I will never forget our trip to Grand Cayman. Tyler and I spent the entire time in SCUBA class and each night we tried to stump you with facts that we just learned. You knew all the right answers and more! Countless dinners at your home with your family until one night when you looked up at me and said: Why are you always here? Do you have a home? So funny. You were kidding, right? All those years I learned so much from you and Mrs. Cooper. You modeled so many amazing Christ-like character traits: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Yes, you have been on a mission of wellness for all, but you have also been on a mission for Christ turning the hearts of man. Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper and thanks for making such a huge difference in my life.
Michael Griffin

Happy happy birthday, Dr. Cooper!! You have been an amazing influence over the years on so many people, including myself! I read your Aerobics book in the early 70s, when I was around 14 or so. I started running and have loved running &/or some type of exercise ever since. I moved from Missouri to Texas to go to college (at Baylor) and ended up settling in Dallas. I've gone to a nutritionist at Cooper Clinic a couple of times over the years & they have helped me keep my cholesterol down with a better diet. I just wanted to thank you for the positive impact you've had on my life. Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating your birthday all year long! Wishing you the very best,

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper. I enjoyed aerobics for many years at my local gym and wanted to thank you. My daughter and I will be staying at the Hotel in the second week of March. We are coming into town to celebrate my brother's 60th birthday. We all can take a lesson from you on continuing fitness as we age. You look fantastic. Thank you for your many years of community leadership!

Happy Birthday, Doctor Cooper!
I wish to thank you personally for your lifetime of service. Your contributions to medicine, and wellness in particular through your Clinic, have been invaluable to many, many people, including my husband and me. We both hope to enjoy a lifetime of vitality and mental acuity for years to come!

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper!
Words can hardly express the impact you have made in my life in the precious moments I have been able to be in your presence. Not only have you changed the trajectory of my health (for which my family and I are so grateful), but by sharing your stories of faith and struggle, you have emboldened and encouraged the work of God in me. The churches that I will be able to serve and the lives they will touch will be multiplied as your stories have encouraged me to follow the call of God on my life with even more faith and vigor. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for following God and being an example for others to do the same. I am grateful for your faithfulness to Jesus and your sensitivity to His call.

Happy 90th Birthday Dr. Cooper! What a wonderful milestone birthday to celebrate! My husband, Ted, and I have been coming to Cooper Clinic for many years. Our care is top-notch and efficient, and the environment is positive and encouraging. Your entire team are role models for healthy living - they lead by example, which comes from the top! We feel Cooper Clinic is on "our team," celebrating our successes and truly wanting the best for us. Dr. Kettles is our biggest cheerleader and we practice her advice all year long. We have lost count of the number of people we have referred to Cooper Clinic, but your reach is wide. Our children have heard of our Cooper experiences for years, and I am quite sure they and their spouses will all choose to be patients as well. You have impacted generations. Thank you for having such a positive impact on our lives!

Dr. Cooper...Happy Birthday!
My prayer is the Lord will continue to Bless You.
Thinking of what a great man you are as I was wearing one of your Cooper tees yesterday under a black sweat shirt. (It was cold in Arkansas)... My husband and I are privileged to have met you 6 years ago.
Thank you for your Kindness Dr. Cooper.

Happy Birthday Dr Cooper!
Do you remember in 1986 being interviewed in London by a *very* pregnant young English woman? After the article was published in Running magazine, you wrote me a sweet letter appreciating my accuracy and attention to detail. It’s a maxim I have stuck to throughout my working life. No fake news for me! I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which has given me a new focus and challenges. Exercise is a huge part of my life, thanks to you. I celebrate it on www.parkytracks.com. With very best wishes.

Happy birthday, Ken. It’s hard to believe we’ve known each other for 60 years. “Tempus fugit.” Martha and I are chasing your years. If we chased you on the road, we'd fall far behind without a bicycle or golf cart. If I reach 90, the exercise you inspired may have helped. Many happy returns.

Dr. Cooper,
I have been able to get to know you through my relationship with Tyler. We have been in YPO forum together for six years. One of my fondest memories of YPO was the father/son dinner we all shared together at Bob’s Steak and Chophouse.
Your legacy in medicine and wellness will have an impact on our city and world for decades to come. After a few years of care at Cooper Clinic, I worked to make an annual Cooper physical a requirement for all of our partners.
I wanted to also acknowledge the legacy that you have created for your family. Your son Tyler is one of the finest human beings I know. I truly value our friendship. Tyler is no doubt a reflection of the man that raised and taught him. I’m sure watching him carry on your professional legacy and lead his own family brings you a great deal of satisfaction and pride.
Happy 90th birthday Dr. Cooper!

Happy Birthday!
I read your first book, Aerobics, when I was 17 years old way back in 1972, recommended to me by the late Oded Bar Or M.D. who was the director of the research lab at the Wingate Institute in Israel. Your books had a great influence on me and to celebrate your 90th Birthday I made a presentation (in Hebrew) to my students in Israel. This year I am doing physical activity that adds on to around 40 aerobics point a week mostly by stationary cycling, walking and cycling.

My father, Frank Angona, read your aerobics book when it came out in the 60s. He was a physicist so he appreciated the science of aerobic exercise. He quit smoking and started running at lunch daily. He inspired me to live a healthy lifestyle. I have been a life-long exercise enthusiast, yoga teacher, meditator and healthy lifestyle advocate. I have had the pleasure of working at Cooper as a substitute yoga instructor for 15 years I feel inspired and motivated by all the wonders you have created in your 90 years.

Dear Dr. Cooper,
Congratulations & Happy Birthday to you on your 90th Birthday!!!
I’m still counting on you to keep time when I turn 100 years old & beat Larry Lewis’ 17 second time running 100 yards. I’ll be 100 & you will be 108. 😜
Look forward to seeing you in just over two weeks for my annual physical.
May God’s richest blessings be upon you as you enter your 10th decade!

Happy Birthday Uncle Kenneth! You have been such a blessing, example, and inspiration to me and my family. You have profoundly and positively enriched so many lives and we are honored by the warmth of your kinship. I recall in the 1970s as an elementary school student seeing a friend’s mother reading one of your books. I told her you were my uncle and she took me for a delusional eight year old. It was quite vindicating to give her a signed book copy for Christmas that year. Best wishes to you and Millie on your 90th birthday!
Kendall Key

You should be reading birthday wishes until your next birthday. I am sure everyone can tell a story of how you impacted their lives. After your suggestion of Burk going to California for perhaps angioplasty and him flying home a few days later with triple bypass surgery feeling as good as new. Thank you, thank you for sending us there. Ten years prior to that he had quadruple bypass and took at least a month to heal. Thank you thank you and so therefore we are both here to wish you a very happy 90th birthday and many more . God needs you for His people for many years to come. Happy happy birthday, Dr. Cooper!!!!

You will always be my Champion, Idol, and Hero! Love you.

DR. COOPER. HAPPY 90TH!! Working at the CFC (94-96.5) as my first job after graduating from Texas Tech U. was one of the great honors of my professional life. I learned so much about first class instruction from the best during my time there, but also about life. I actually went to the CFC (during snow days this past month) for the first time in several years and it brought back so many warm and wonderful memories. I ran into several friends, and all of them had that healthy, peaceful spirit indicative of the CFC patron. What a life you have lived and impact you have made on our Planet. You still look great (my mom is also 90) and want to express my gratitude to you and your staff for turning me into the trainer/human I am today. May your 90th be as blessed and happy as ever. YOU are a great man and we are all richer to have been touched by you. Please tell Tyler hello for me. CHEERS and continued blessings to YOU and yours!!

Dear Dr. Cooper,
First, I wish you a very happy birthday! It’s a big milestone, with many more to come.
My connection to you began in 1977 when my dad, Burt, went into V-Fib while attending a tour of the Clinic. Of course, he couldn’t have been in a better place. He likely wouldn’t have fared so well had he been on the wrong floor at a hospital. The family has always been appreciative of the work done that day (and every day) by the entire staff.
I have been to Dallas for many physicals, and now my son, David, has also been a patient for a few years. So you see, your impact is multi-generational for us.
Thanks for all you have done in the service of helping us to lead healthier lives.
Happy birthday!!

Congratulations on your significant milestone birthday and best wishes for many many more! With your energy and mind I expect you to be going strong at 100. You have been a remarkable doctor, mentor and leader in healthcare for so many over the years and have left your mark on this nation. I have had the pleasure of working with your son Tyler for the last 18 years and you two and your clinic have been a Godsend to my and my family’s wellbeing. May God continue to bless you sir....He certainly has us with your extraordinary care.

What a marvelous occasion. I first met you Ken when you spoke at a Boston marathon event in the 90s. Then joined the clinic in 1999 shortly after meeting by then fiancée - what a significant year for me.
In the 21 years we worked together I most admired your warmth, friendliness and profound memory for medical data as well as your continued self education and reading of the medical literature. You are unique, indeed an icon as the leader in the field of exercise medicine.
A very happy and healthy birthday to you. Please give my regards to Millie.
Hope to see you next month when Yolanda and I visit Dallas.

Ken: I hope you have a very healthy and happy birthday. You have made a difference in my life through my Cooper Activity Center exercise program and my Cooper annual physicals which I started in 1978 and never veered from. I can count the days I have been sick on 3 fingers and that came from eating chicken in Yemen and Indonesia. I thank you for the great influence you have had on my health and my attitude in life. May God always bless you for the good you have done.

Thank you Dr. Cooper for all you have done for me. I am eternally grateful that your thorough, detailed approach to medicine, led to you finding a cancerous tumor during one of my routine physicals five years ago. A find other doctors might have missed since my PSA was normal. Your consistent, disciplined practice and attention to detail caught my cancer early enough so that I was able to quickly get in for a successful surgery to have it removed. That was five years ago and I am now cancer free with all my functions intact! Now hopefully I can hit 90 just like you...and be here for a long time to enjoy my family and beautiful grandchildren...something I’m not sure I could say, or even be here to say, if not for you finding that tumor in 2016. I am so thankful for all of the physicals, conversations and guidance over the years. You are a real blessing to me and I will always be thankful for you. You are the simply the BEST. Happy Birthday! ❤️

Dr. Cooper,
I met you 45 years ago at the Aerobics Center. You saw the shingles on my face and told me your father had that too. We also met a couple of years ago in your office and discussed our visits to China (you going a little more plush than I).
You and your clinic have been an integral part of my life in Dallas. My yearly check ups with Dr. Abel have let me see, not only your growth, but the influence you have had and still have on generations of people. You have been an inspiration to me as well.
Wishing you many more years of health and happiness.

Dr. Cooper: You have been such a strong influence in my life over the last 40 years (yikes!). I'll never forget the time back in 1982 when I was a young auditor running around your track, and you came up to me and told me I was gaining on Frank Shorter Now he and I are neighbors in Boulder with new knees and a continued love of exercise and fitness.
Your wisdom, kindness, and generosity are a huge inspiration to so many of us. Happy 90th and I wish I could be there in person to celebrate!

Happy Birthday Ken!
I am so thankful for you and Millie being such dear friends to Mom (Marcene) and Dad (Turner) and thus to our family. Your love for the Lord and for others shown in your passion for pursuing healthy lifestyles changed my parents lives and our lives as well. I am so thankful I got to grow up jogging and exercising in the 70's with my parents simply because it was how we took care of what God has given us; it was health motivated, not self image motivated. The discipline Marcene and Turner learned from you passed down to us. We are so thankful for your friendship with Dad. Your love for the Lord and for Dad blessed him and made him a better man, better father, and better husband.
We love and appreciate you.

Dear Dr Cooper-
It has been an amazing privilege and pleasure working with you over the years. I actually joined the Cooper Center when I was an intern in 1981 and have been participating in some form ever since then.
Your goals, curiosity and dedication have made us (me) a better person and a better cardiologist. You lead by example...and therefore I have always tried to have my "ducks in a row" when discussing EP with you.
Happiest Birthday!

Dr. Cooper,
We met briefly during my one visit to Cooper Clinic, but I won't forget the kindness you showed. You took time to show me your office and share a story. I was blessed by your hospitality, as well as the medical care your team provided. Your life has impacted mine in a wonderful way, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Happy birthday!

Amidst the chaos of ‘20, Bill Brown introducing me to you had to be a highlight...for me, it was kinda like when you spent time w/ Billy Graham in Brazil.
We’ll be back in June and I hope I get to see you again!
Thank you for the blessing you are to so many! You touch lives far beyond medicine!
Happy Birthday young man!!!!

Dearest Dr. Cooper. Thank you so much for your contribution and your thoughts on health and well-being. They were ahead of their time and now more important than ever.. I wish you a happy birthday on your 90th quite a milestone. You are an example of how taking a thought and making it a vision and living by it and having it come true can manifest before you're very eyes. I pray for you for continued health well-being and spiritual guidance the rest of your days. I would love to meet one day just talk and hear your story. If you're interested and you have time contact me 972-786-6680 lunch. God Bless.

A very Happy and blessed Birthday to you, Dr. Cooper! I so admire you and your life's work and want to thank you for helping so many people find their way to better health (of which I am one). I had a physical and attended the "Wellness Week" at Cooper Clinic in March of 2012, and that started me on a journey of wellness and the implementation of a changed diet and lifestyle which have continued to this day. Congratulations on reaching this great milestone! My father turned 90 last year, and my mother's 88th birthday will be in July. It is such a blessing to have parents who take good care of their health and are still here to be with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I'm sure your family, friends and community (as well as many around the world) are thrilled that you are thriving and in good health (as am I!).
May you have many more good and healthy years ahead, and may God Bless you and your family!

Dr. Cooper,
Happy Birthday! You have always inspired me and I love being a part of the Cooper Fitness family. Tyler and Angie are close friends with Meredith and me. You and Millie have given us so much to shoot for. And I love that you keep moving forward. I love bumping into you in the evenings at the Cooper Center. You have left an amazing legacy. I'm so fortunate to know you. And your faith in Christ has been passed down to your family.
Tyler is the most stubborn friend I've known when it comes to his beliefs. I can be a little bit shaky in that department, but he's such a wonderful friend. On behalf of my in-laws, Don and Barbara Floyd. And from my family (including Lang's close pal, Parker), we wish you the happiest of birthdays! I'm hoping for many more. The Father of Aerobics has earned another decade or two.

Happy Birthday to a Long Term Friend who has done so much for me and countless others. The opportunity to work out and play basketball at the Fitness Center for over 25 years was such a Blessing. I also received my annual physical at the Clinic during that time which was so beneficial to the good health I continue to enjoy. Dr. Cooper is a Great Man and I will always be grateful to him for having such a positive influence on my life.

Dear Dr. Cooper!
I grew up in Brazil not understanding why everyone would always say “let’s go out for a Cooper” when they wanted to do a jogging. It was an awesome pleasure to know you personally in 2018 and hear all the great stories you had with the “Seleção”. Thanks for your remarkable legacy to the well being of mankind.
Happy Birthday, God bless you!

I remember your Aerobics book in my childhood home in the late 60s. Then it seemed everything fitness took off from there! We listened to Zig Ziglar on his motivational tapes talk about the Cooper Clinic in the mid-70s, and I'd drive by it in Dallas on the way to work in the 80s. Our family friend, Dr. Bruce Miller, who recently passed away, told us about his acquaintance with you as you both talked about nutrition during the 90s. I even went for a grand physical at your Dallas clinic and later joined the new Cooper Fitness Center at Craig Ranch here in McKinney in the 2000s/2010s. Somehow your life has threaded through mine over all these years, and I am so grateful for your subtle influence and indirect investment. I hope your 90th birthday is the happiest of all. What a privilege to be alive. May God bless you and keep you, Dr. Cooper!

Thank you for the Cooper Clinic I’ve been doing my annual physical for 25 years. What a benchmark to look at every year to keep fit.

I am happy and proud to have worked with “The Father of Aerobics,” who has almost singlehandedly done so much to make the world healthier, and may well have saved more lives than any other doctor alive today.
His clinic saved my life with a health problem they alerted me to during my annual checkups.
He has inspired me, as he had inspired tens of millions of others, to become more fit, and the aerobics movement will serve as a lasting memorial to his pioneering and groundbreaking work in convincing the world of the importance of regular exercise.
He helped move medicine away from disease management and towards disease prevention, inspired many to take up jogging, and made fitness an important part of American lives.
My wife Ursula and I, grateful patients and friends, look forward to celebrating his 100th.

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper! I had the chance to meet and talk with you on January 4th as we waited the mandatory 15 minutes after having received our first COVID shot at Comprehensive Orthopedics (you initiated the conversation by inquiring about the large scab on my lower leg that I received from a bicycle accident which has now healed quite nicely, thank you). Here's wishing you many more "Happy Birthdays" to celebrate in the years to come.
P.S. I have benefited greatly from participating in the Nutritional program offered by the Clinic.

Happy birthday Dr. Cooper: I’ve been an annual physical patient with Drs. Tornelli-Mitchell and McFarlin since 1997 even after a move to Austin in 2000. At 71, I attribute much of my good health to their combined care and skill. On your birthday my wife and I received our second of two COVID vaccinations at your clinic. Your entire staff should be complimented for the excellent way they handled the entire process. And a tip of the hat to Dr. McFarlin for getting us in line for our two shots. Again, happy 90th and here is to many more.

🎈Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper
For 23 years you have helped me take charge of my health by giving me great advice! 😊
You have reviewed my medical report and John's jointly, so that we have no secrets.
We have always admired your stamina, your dedication to educating people on how to become or stay healthy!
Thanks to you I did two half marathon back to back at age 46. I was race walking, not running. At age 76 I still do some race walking but at a slower pace. You were my inspiration to undertake something I had never done before.
May you continue to enjoy good health and happiness every day. 👏😀🧘🍀🌅🏃🏻♂️🎂

Dr. Cooper,
I first heard you at your presentation at the Indiana Dental Association which I think was in the mid 70s. I was inspired! I'm nearly an octogenarian and my goal is to be able to tell my kids what things were like a hundred years ago! hope you can too.
Congrats on your success and best wishes for a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Dr. Cooper, Happy Birthday!! I first learned of Cooper Aerobics in 1978 during my freshman year at Georgia Tech. We read your aerobics book in our PE class. I am so grateful for your innovative approach to fitness.
I have been fortunate to get a Cooper Clinic physical assessment on multiple occasions from 2005 on. In 2015 you were kind enough to allow me to meet you personally in your office. You pointed out several elderly patients that far exceed my stamina in the treadmill. (Ha!)
God bless you sir!

Dear Dr. Cooper: I have been a fan of yours ever since I read your book on Aerobics in 1973 when a physician in Coral Gables FL gave me a copy. You inspired me to jump right in and earn my 30 aerobic points each week. I have had the pleasure of hearing you speak many times and your messages continue to resonate in my head. My favorite is, "it's a whole lot easier to maintain good health than it is to regain it after it is lost." What an understatement! And I keep reminding myself: "proper diet, proper exercise and proper supplementation." Please keep the good advice coming; I will always heed it. Happy Birthday and may you have many more. Thank you for all that you do.
Bill Wilson

You were the beginning of our, my husband and my, commitment to exercise. I remember one year when we were at Cooper Clinic for our annual physicals and enjoying some lunch after--you were sitting at the table next to us. We enjoyed a brief conversation with you eventually getting around to The Treadmill Test. It just happened to be a record for me--even to this day actually!! I was so proud to tell you!! Your leadership and commitment to health and longevity are an inspiration to so many and continue to be even at the young age of 90. Wishing you a Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!! Well lived, and wished many more.
Nancy Swaney

Dr. Cooper,
First, and foremost, "Happy Birthday"!!! The irony is that you are the one who has given the most to all of us---health! I remember when I first started running and learning that you were the one who inspired "exercise." My husband and I have been, in some form, coming to Cooper Clinic for over 40 years. Today, as part of the Platinum Program, we feel truly fortunate to be able to continue our relationship with the fine doctors and staff of the Clinic. On rare occasion, I see you in the halls and always want to thank you for all you have done for exercise, but I never want to bother you. So, just please know how grateful we are for all you have done and wish you the very HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS!!

Dr. Cooper, Happy Birthday and congratulations on your 90 years. I was fortunate to be introduced to your first book in 1970 by my cross country coach in Athens, Alabama. I have probably read that book 30 times. You inspired me to dream of living to be 80 or 90 years old. A tall order for a 17 year old in rural North Alabama. I have made it to 67 and look forward to challenging those years. I still run 300 to 500 miles a year and maintain a carefully monitored diet. I am looking forward to my 21’st annual physical at Cooper Clinic this month. Thank you again for your books.

Happy bday, Doc. I heard you in 1978 at Texarkana College speaking about aerobics. I became a runner that day. Many miles later, I’m now almost 72, eating a plant based diet, walking every day and 4 lbs under my high school weight. I came to Cooper Clinic in my early 30’s assuming I would die of cardiovascular disease like my dad did at age 38. Every year is now a bonus year. Thank you for establishing a preventative path for my family and me. Wishing you God’s richest blessings!!

I had the pleasure of meeting you during one of those visits as I was waiting for my next check up activity. You simply ask me if they where talking good care of me and I responded that they always give me excellent care here. Congratulations on your many achievements and thank you for the inspiration that started me on my fitness “journey” nearly 45 years ago. Still running at age 65. Thank you again Dr Cooper!

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper! Thank you for the impact you have made on my life, and the world. In addition, to being the "Father of Aerobics"....you are the "Father of Walk-A-Thons" by bringing the concept of walking to raise funds for research and programs....for a multitude of non-profit organizations, including my alma maters, March of Dimes and American Heart Association. Millions of people participated, and BILLIONS of dollars have been raised! Lives have been saved.

Dear Dr. Cooper:
My dentist, Dr. Archie French in Arcadia, CA referred me to your clinic and I completed my first complete physical evaluation on Feb 7th, 2002. It was a great experience and so I have been going back ever since.
I would like to thank you for setting up the clinic and focusing on the many benefits of aerobic exercise. The evaluations at your clinic have allowed me to fine tune my own healthy habits, in particular the importance of adding omega 3 and vitamin D supplementation to my daily diet.
I wish you a very Happy 90th Birthday and hope you will continue to share with us the very insightful articles that you publish for many more years to come.

Dr. Cooper,
Please accept our best wishes for a wonderful 90th. You have truly lived an amazing life and I can’t convey in mere words my respect for you.
I have never met you but adore Millie and see Tyler- I met Millie at the aerobics center and she shared so much about you and your family- starting at Ft Sill.
I have the greatest respect for Tyler and appreciate your guidance in helping him become an amazing person and doctor!
Thank you for all of your perseverance in the face of adversity from the medical board and truly making a generational change in the health and lives of so many.
I hope you had all of the chocolate chip cookies you wanted today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. COOPER. You have been a role model of mine for 50 years (I am 77). I started jogging in the 1960s and kept track of my aerobic points. Your work has be so important to me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Also your work at the LD Pankey Institute in the 1970s was life changing for me. I do appreciate your work and the help you have been to me, my family and our community. Keep the motivating of others going for many years.

Happy Birthday! You are an inspiration! I attribute much of my healthy life/lifestyle to you. I read your ground-breaking book, "Aerobics," in the early 1970's as a teenager. After reading it, I took up running and I have never looked back the past 50 years! You changed my life. And I'm one of millions, I'm sure. I'm also now a patient at Cooper Clinic for the last five years for my annual executive physical -- and always look forward to my visit there. Congratulations and I wish you many more birthdays still to come!

Happy bday, Doc. I heard you in 1978 at Texarkana College speaking about aerobics. I became a runner that day. Many miles later, I’m now almost 72, eating a plant based diet, walking every day and 4 lbs. under my high school weight. I came to Cooper Clinic in my early 30s assuming I would die of cardiovascular disease like my dad did at age 38. Every year is now a bonus year. Thank you for establishing a preventative path for my family and me. Wishing you God’s richest blessings!!
Michael Giesler

All my best.

Dr. Cooper: I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, but your son, Dr. Tyler Cooper is my physician at the Clinic. He is an excellent physician and he has told me how much you have meant to him as a father.
To have a son of such talent and character is likely one of the most important things you have done in your amazing life.
Happy Birthday, and many more.

We’ve been driving from Kentucky for years and have loved all our experiences but my most fun memory is when I was waiting one morning and the doors had not opened. This older man in a baby blue ‘80’s running suit came up to my car. He wanted to talk so I got out. He said, “Good Morning, Little Lady!” Now the funny part of this is I am 6’2” and he was maybe 5’5”! We talked for 1/2 an hour about life, your friendship, my job, etc. When they opened, the doors, he very gallantly held the door for me. As we walked in, everyone started standing and saying, “Good Morning, Mr. Perot!” I had no idea who he was and I think that tickled him pink! I tell this story often so Happy Birthday and Happy Memories!

I remember you from all the Runner’s World Magazines I subscribed to. Cooper’s Clinic remains the gold standard for health and endurance science due to all of your work and your vision. Fifty pounds of prevention is better than a ton of cure and more fun.

Dr. Cooper, Happy Birthday! You and your book were the inspiration that started me on my journey to fitness in December 1968. You defined fitness and how much running and other exercises were needed to maintain fitness. I became a life long fitness enthusiast. I am now 81 years old and continue to do aerobic workouts and strength workouts 6 days a week. I've also improved my nutrition over the years. Thank you for leading the way and for your inspiration and for improving the quality of my life ant my wife's life. I look forward to wishing happy birthday again in 10 years!!

You are the reason I am still on this earth instead in God’s Kingdom in Heaven. On May 21, 2015, during my annual executive physical at Cooper Clinic, your radiologist, John Cannaday noticed a 2mm spot on my pancreas in the CT Scan. Out of an abundance of caution, he requested that I come back over to his office and have another CT Scan, this time with contrast. But for that second CT Scan, I would probably have been dead by Christmas. On June 10, 2015, I was on the operating table at John’s Hopkins undergoing the Whipple procedure. But for your wonderful institution, Cooper Clinic, I would not be here today enjoying my wife, family and friends looking forward to my 6th year anniversary of the operation in June and in excellent health creeping up on my 74th birthday on August 25th. Thank you and have a wonderful and blessed celebration of your 90th.

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper! I first visited your facility in 2004 as a participant in the wellness clinic. Being empowered to intentionally choose health, enjoy food and movement as medicine and value well-being changed my life.

Skip Taylor

Dr. Cooper, you won’t recognize our names, but we’ve followed you from my Air Force pilot training days in 1968/69 to current. I bought your book “Aerobics” at the BX at Craig AFB. Both my dad and uncle were your patients in the 1970s and 80s and they lived to ages 96 and 92 respectively. We’ve been Aerobics Center members off and on since the mid 70s (including the fire in 1979!) and Cooper Clinic patients (and Institute supporters) back to the Dr. Constant days (who also was at one time my USAF Flight Surgeon!) and you once saw me for a Class III flight physical since I’ve stuck with my flying passion for more than 50 years. I believe your son Tyler and our son Ryan were St Marks students at about the same time. As our paths have crossed, we’ve admired you greatly! Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for so many of us! Happy Birthday!!

Dr. Cooper, happy birthday! I was introduced to Cooper Clinic by Ross Perot Sr., who insisted (as you know he would and could) that I become a patient. I was associated with him from1985 until his passing, and learned not to say no. Being associated with Cooper Clinic for the past 18 years has been both a joy and a privilege. Thank you for all you have done for so many.

I've been coming to Copper Clinic annually for 42 years. I'm grateful to you for helping me live a long and happy life. I recently told someone who was doing an article for some publication from your Clinic that I owed my fortunate good health to three things: God, genes and Cooper.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. COOPER!
Salute, my friend, across many miles.
Human beings of like-minded trials
Once only dreaming to conquer that path.
Leading one towards life’s goals that last.
Compassion, empathy leads the way
Hoping beyond hope it all will stay
When all is gained and nothing seems lost
As children we yearn for acceptance
As we learn, across time, how to dance
Some faster, others with many steps
Forgetting the rules, maintaining pep.
No matter the time nor even space
Could not buy shoes good enough to lace.
There is yet one word all encounter
On their journey to provide banter
Always true, goals of such high merit
Impossible for most to ferret.
When medical counseling is best
Nothing remains to chance or a guess
There are many themes to be addressed
In order to gain much good progress.
To be an adult with faithfulness
Kenneth Cooper, his name is success!
Roy Wilson

How it would enhance our mind and body and help us be better teachers. We had fun getting the assessment you provided and I will never forget it. I am still trying to stay healthy and I go to your clinic for check-ups as often as I can. Thank you!!

Wishing you a joyous birthday celebration Dr. Cooper. You have made so many lives better over the years and changed how we look at the importance of healthy living. My father gave me a copy of your first book when I married some 56 years ago and I still have it. He was a college professor and head of the department of Physical Education at Tarleton State University for 26 years. He was a man ahead of his time and appreciated your interest in a healthy lifestyle. My husband and I spent a number of years as clients at your Dallas facility and credit your excellent care with our good health habits. Thank you for continuing your efforts to raise the healthy living consciousness of people everywhere. The world is better for having you in it.
Pat Camp

Dr. Cooper, Happy birthday on yet another milestone. While I am not the best aerobic guy, I do indeed credit my good health to the care and encouragement received from Dr. Nelson and my annual visits, paid for out of my own pocket. I have had the pleasure of meeting you in person on a couple of my visits and appreciate your commitment to good health and providing a pathway for others. Blessings!

Dr. Cooper: Happy birthday and thank you so much for your calling over the years. My father met you in the late 1950s when you were working on an airplane crash in southern Oklahoma. Ever since 1970, we have had a copy of Aerobics on our shelf. More recently, we have been blessed by my wife, Dr. Susan Roberts, being able to work with you and the fantastic Cooper team. In 2004, I became a patient and I truly believe that Dr. Tedd Mitchell and the Cooper team literally saved my life. Susan talks with great joy about the times that she is able to run into you. You have assembled a team with a philosophy of care and excellence that is a blessing to many. Thank you so much. Have a great day and a double portion of your favorite cake with too much ice cream.

Dr. Cooper - Happy Birthday! My husband and I have been coming to Cooper Clinic since 2007 for Executive Physicals. However I have known about you for over 25 years form my parents Commissioners John & Elsie Busby. My Parents loved getting to know you and your lovely wife at Salvation Army events and we are so grateful that you became my father's doctor and literally saved his life by noticing a very small blip in the stress test. We love sharing this story and so appreciate the way you cared for my father from that day forward to the present. While living in Oklahoma City, we passed by Cooper Middle School and came to find out it was named after YOU. The influence of your 90 years is just incredible. Blessings on you and your family as you celebrate this great milestone.

Over 20 years ago Joe was inspired by a presentation that you did at a business meeting. He began traveling from MD every year for a complete physical with Dr. Kettles. Several years after he started the annual physical, I did the same. We both enjoyed the attention and the advice for fitness for over 20 years. We have missed that last lear due to COVID.
Thank you for all you have contributed to the world of fitness!

Happy 90th Birthday to a great man with a great legacy. A pioneer of the benefits of proactive health management and prevention of disease. You are truly an inspiration for all of us. As a former soccer player and great fan of the 1970 Brazilian soccer team, considered the best of all time, I often relate to people the story behind that team and Brazil's long time success in world competition. They knew the benefit of being "Cooperized", a term born in Brazil to describe their experience and learnings from Dr. Cooper. God Bless you and your wonderful family!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dr. Cooper. I first experienced your book and aerobics programs while attending ORU and have been a firm believer in your exercise regimen ever since. I am 66 years old, practicing optometry full time and I'mstill not taking any medications thanks to you, I believe, and your program. I currently come to Cooper Clinic once a year for a full physical that saved my life by discovering prostate cancer in its earliest stages. I have remained cancer free. Your contribution to a healthy life style will continue for many generations to come. Again, I hope you have a great day. Sincerely, Dr. Jeff Davis

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper!
I have been one of your fans since being introduced to your book while I was attending SMU in 1972-1976. I was 18 as a freshman. Now, I am retired at age 66. I moved my health club membership from Equinox to the Cooper in June 2018 immediately after I stopped working. While I was working, the commute to the Cooper was a bit much, but now? Happy to do it!
I always drive in the main gate so I can see the sweep of the lawns, ponds and drive across the darling little bridge. Just love that! The Cooper is a country club where the focus is health and wellness instead of golf. Thank you for your vision!
Warmest regards on your 90th Birthday!

Over 20 years ago Joe was inspired by a presentation that you did at a business meeting. He began traveling from MD every year for a complete physical with Dr. Kettles. Several years after he started the annual physical, I did the same. We both enjoyed the attention and the advice for fitness for over 20 years. We have missed that last year due to COVID. Thank you for all you have contributed to the world of fitness! Happy Birthday - wishing you many more!

Dr. Cooper - thanks for all your time and wisdom the last few years as your personal patient. I am sorry that I missed you last year due to COVID, but it has been great getting to know you and your history. Carrie and I have personally enjoyed the sit downs in your office where you spend time and truly care about us as people vs. just being your patient. From the time where you chose me as one of your new patients (because I was from Oklahoma) till now, you are an inspiration for me. Thank you.

Happy, happy birthday Dr. Cooper! Thank you for opening and creating such a lovely and impressive environment to get healthy and to be checked from the inside and out. Thanks to your clinic and the wonderful doctors and technicians there I learned I had Thyroid cancer early on because I had a body scan. Last week I had surgery to remove my entire Thyroid and some lymph nodes. If not for that body scan I'm not sure when I would have known about the cancer. I for one, appreciate all your hard work and dedication to your clinic! Wishing you great health and warmest regards!

I’ve had the pleasure of reading your first book while studying to be a Physical Education major at The University of Texas. That book influenced my teaching and personal life, health and well-being. Later in my life, I came to work at Coopers as an Associate Staff member and later still as a member! I share this as a testimonial to the part you have played in my life. You have been a “difference maker” in God’s world!
Thank you! I hope you feel loved and celebrated on your special day!

Happy 90th, Ken! I first heard you speak in San Antonio while you were still in the Air Force. Later you accepted our invitation to come to SA to meet with our Harte-Hanks management team and our spouses in 1973. You taught us how and why it was important to do our daily “Cooper,” and you taught us so much more. You came back several times. Then we began to get our check-ups at your clinic. We became all too familiar with the treadmills and the pool at Preston Road. And we took to heart our numbers—from max heart rates to body fat % to max treadmill times. They became a badge of honor to our team. All of us developed better lifelong health habits because of you. And some of us, although now in our 80s, still come back. Thank YOU, Dr. Cooper!!

Dear Dr. Cooper, When I was 40, I came to visit you after Jay Monahan, a Washington and Lee classmate of mine, had died of colon cancer. Though I didn't know Jay personally as I was 3 years behind him in class, I was determined to have my first MDCT scan performed. Thanks to YOU, I have been Heart Healthy with NO heart disease since then, scoring a zero and 1 on my scores. Good living these last 21 years! Now, I take my new smoking hot stone cold fox Bride up to see y'all, too! Warmly yours,

You were walking into NorthPark Mall briskly many years ago! We entered together, walked a few strides in tandem for a while. I did not know who you were. You looked down at my new running shoes and made a nice comment regarding my shoes. We talked about running and its benefits, just an extra nice guy off the street, I thought. You turned into a store for one of your book signings. You asked me my name. F.A. (Drew) Barbosa, I said. You signed a book for me and said something like "This book will help your running out." It did–it changed my life in so many ways! Thank you for all you do, Ken!

Thank you for this gift and for modeling how to live a long and excellent life. Happy 90th Birthday!! Regards,

Happy 90th Birthday, Dr. Cooper! I’m a big fan! I began seeing a nutritionist at Cooper about 10 years ago. With her help, I lost a significant amount of weight and have kept it off for 4-5 years.

Dr. Cooper, Thank you for all you have done for so many. Because of you and what you started with Cooper Clinic, Cooper Fitness Center and The Cooper Institute, I am living a healthier live. As a 20+ year patient and member of the fitness center I benefit from your passion daily. Also, because of your son, I was able to seek treatment for prostate cancer at a very early stage and am thankfully a healthy survivor. So you could say I owe my prolonged live to the Cooper family. I appreciate you leading the fitness journey that we are on and serving as a motivator to continue. Happy 90th and blessings to all. God Bless,

Dr. Cooper, even though I never personally met you, your work has made a huge difference in the way I have lived the past 22 years. In my humble opinion, Dr. McFarlin has been a wonderful extension of your vision. Your clinic not only teaches life lessons, it allows me to leave each year with the comfort of understanding my body functions (and malfunctions!) You are a very blessed man to have been given the opportunity to enrich the lives of so many people. May God continue to bless you in the future!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! When I first came to Cooper Clinic more than 25 years ago I didn't know what to expect. What happened was a complete change in my life. I have told countless people about your excellent program; plus even at 90 years old, you give me the most thorough physical exam I have ever had. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you next year. Have a blessed day.

To the man who saved my life and many more
Happy 90th birthday to the one so many adore
Anybody can say they had a belief and did what they wanted to do
Now you can look back at your life and know your words were true
Kenneth was your given name but after a lot of hard work it was just Doc.
Yet you had a belief, knew what to do, and you really walked the talk
Overdue success and notoriety would eventually come your long way
U are now known all over the world, so sit back and revel in your day
your patient and friend

Dear Dr. Cooper--There is no doubt in my mind that I am still alive today at the age of 82 because I have been blessed with knowing you and following your teachings. I know of no one in the world today that has more to influence individuals throughout the world to practice preventive medicine in order to improve their lives. In addition, your lectures at the National Defense University are legendary: you went up against the President of the United States, Members of Congress, and other big name DC speakers and always finished number one in the annual student evaluations. It was always the best lecture I have ever heard! God bless Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper M.D.--you are God's special messenger that has enriched people's lives throughout the world. Dr. John Holland

Happy 90th Dr. Cooper! Your Wellness Program saved my life & my husband's life in 1997. Mine when Day 1 of the Wellness Program discovered a spiculated mass in my 1st ever mammogram at age 38. A mammogram I would not have had at 38 except that I was at the Clinic for a thorough baseline physical. That same day my husband was saved by the Ultra-fast CatScan that showed a horrid calcification score. A diagnostic technique that hadn't made it to our home state of NC in 1997. Here we are in 2021...getting ready to fly down to Cooper Clinic for our annual physical. We are sold on Cooper for life!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work for you so many years ago. I left the clinic a year after Megan was born, 1996. Wow! It’s really been that long😳 I am so grateful for all you taught me and for how you instilled the belief in me that staying fit and active is a choice that must be made. I definitely continue to exercise regularly! Thank you for being a Godly man and for your positive influence on the world! I am forever grateful to you! I pray God will Bless you with a fabulous 90th Birthday! 🥳 The BEST is yet to come.
Much Love ❤️

I first learned of Dr. Cooper in the fall of 1970. I was a freshman at UFla, where the short wiry PE instructor (mandatory back then) expounded upon the virtues of this program.
After taking more than a few years off from the program, I am active daily today and take good advantage of the Cooper Clinic from time to time.
Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper, and many more returns of the day. You are a visionary, sir.

Happy most blessed birthday to our dear friend of more than 50 years plus. When God created you Ken you were born fearfully and wonderfully made and one of His finest and best creations.

Dr. Cooper - Happy Birthday!! My father, Commissioner John Busby, met you through your volunteer work with The Salvation Army. My father's involvement with The Salvation Army led him to meet multiple U.S. Presidents and Queen Elizabeth and so many people in all walks of life -- some wealthy and well known and many folks in the time of their greatest need -- but I dare say you are at the VERY top of the list of people he is grateful to have met. Why? Because you are the one who insisted he get an angiogram after you administered your stress test and suspected some blockages -- and sure enough -- he had pentuple bypass surgery as a result. That was over twenty years ago. I know he credits you with "saving his life" as he had no symptoms. He's now 83 and much like you living life to the fullest! Thank you for giving those years to him and to his family.

Dr. Cooper,
Congratulations on achieving this amazing milestone! You have and continue to be a source of inspiration and motivation to all those you come into contact with.
I had the pleasure of seeing you during my annual physical in December of 2019. Watching you move throughout the room speaking with different patients, I thought to myself I can only hope to be as vibrant and energetic as Dr. Cooper is when I'm in my 80s. Now here you are, setting the bar ever higher! I have no doubt I will be sending another note of congratulations when you hit the century mark!
My best wishes for continued great health and my sincere thanks for all you've done to make it possible for so many others have that same opportunity.

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper! Congratulations on reaching this milestone. In 2011 the Census Bureau said 4.7% of Americans were 90 and older, compared to 2.8% in 1980. By 2050 they project the number will grow to 10%. That increase surely has to include your decades of work in educating all of us about the importance of regular exercise, managing our weight, stress, sleep, alcohol, etc., and how the choices we make each day can increase our chances of living longer and better! Wishing you joy, happiness, and good health.

Your work in in the field of health, nutrition and aerobic exercise has touched so many lives and inspired others to pass the torch to many more, as a result, your example has been multiplied expediently! You had a huge influence on two of my dear friends and mentors, Jim Stahl and Fred Blohm, both doctors at East Texas State University. Without your leadership and their influence, I would have never achieved the healthy lifestyle that my wife and I enjoy today! Thank you for all you have done! Happy Birthday!

I read your first book and was fascinated by it, and my wife and I have been to your clinic for many years. Because of age and some infirmities, we have stopped going. We miss Dr. Kettles and her wise counsel. We want to thank you for all that your clinic has done - for us and for the world, and wish you many more years of health and happiness.

Dear Ken,
Congratulations for having squeezed so many achievements into a mere 64 years of professional life. Back around 1960 you inspired me to start jogging, which led to fun college years of track and cross-country. More than 50 years later my visit to the Cooper Clinic saved my life by discovering a potentially fatal medical problem. Thank you for all you've done for me...and the American public!

HAPPY 90TH KEN!!!
I am a 92 year old (as of 4/5/21) healthy guy who attributes so much of my healthy and wonderful life to starting my annual physical exams about 40 years ago at Cooper Clinic with Larry Gibbons (who became a very good friend as well !). This was an annual trip from Pennsylvania and one of the most important dates on my business schedule. I also was a runner. (And, for a short period held the stress test record for my age).
So, THANKS for what you started and what it has meant to me! Let's keep it going!!!
With best regards.

Dearest Dr. Cooper, I wish you a very Happy 90th Birthday!!! I can't believe you are 90 because you seem so much younger. I feel like I'm still 17 sometimes. I truly believe we are to have purpose: continue working and serving others to lead a long, healthy, happy life. You are our inspiration, and we are so thankful for you. I hope you have a wonderful day, year, and many more healthy years to come. PLEASE KEEP GOING, and we will follow your good example. May God continue to bless you and your families.

Dr. Cooper,
Happy Birthday! I recall fondly coming to Cooper Clinic, along with my brothers and also the senior management of Irby Construction Co. and Stuart C. Irby Co.
Most of our senior management never even considered "working out" for personal fitness.
Most all of them were "good ole boys" who had hard jobs, and thought that was exercise!
In any case, my family and many of the Irby employees benefitted greatly from you and your organization! Again, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper-- I had the honor and privilege of meeting you briefly some 25 years ago, while I was visiting some relatives in the Carrollton, TX area. I knew your clinic was close by so I told them that I wanted to stop by to visit. I asked a receptionist if you were in and if it were possible to meet you. I was directed to your office and we chatted briefly and I got your autograph. I thank you for all the valuable work you have done over the years. I was a young PE teacher then, and now, at age 62, I am still teaching middle school PE/fitness during the pandemic (this is my 39th year!) Thanks again for your example!

Dr. Cooper,
I began jogging for the first time in my life after reading your book back in the early 70s. I was in my early 30s at the time. This behavior change has made a significant difference in my wellbeing. I’m now 76, take no prescribed medication and enjoy life. I’m been to your clinic several time over the years for checkups.
You made a positive difference in my life. Thank you. Happy Birthday!

I first learned of you and Aerobics AROUND 1960 while I attended Oklahoma City University. I later enjoyed the Cooper Clinic for annual checkups for many years. My wife Shirley and I share with you the challenge of successfully summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. Your work and example have added quality years to my life. Thanks for all you have done for all the folks.

When tested years ago you graciously signed my first marathon sneaker from 1979. That “unpadded” Nike sits on my shelf along with your good wishes (telling me to go out and run). And I do! Toenails be damned.

Have a wonderful 90th birthday with many more years of health ahead. Always admired your hard work and it was a pleasure to bump into you on a cruise ship years ago while I was running laps aboard with Cooper T shirt on! My years of clinic visits were always a pleasure...stay healthy!

Happy birthday Dr. Cooper. Thank you for your great contributions. I met you at your clinic when I came for my annual physical and we talked about Abebe Bikila, a great Ethiopian marathon runner. You shared with me about the Boston Marathon where he left you way behind. It is okay Dr. Cooper; you have run a different kind of marathon and won. Happy birthday Dr. Cooper and thank you for your contributions to humanity and your great legacy. Dex Beyene, Dallas resident, originally from Ethiopia.

Dear Dr. Cooper,
A very Happy 90th Birthday to you! I would like to tell you how important the Cooper Clinic has been to my own father, Jim Trimble, who also turned 90 in December. He was a faithful Aerobics Center member since 1983 when they moved into the neighborhood. He continued to go almost every day, enjoying walking your lovely grounds, getting health check-ups, and later enjoyed your stationary bikes courtside, always followed by fun coffee with friends. He would still be there if he had not moved to The Tradition 2 years ago.
Needless to say, your groundbreaking program and center have made his life longer and happier (he's a triple bypass survivor of 23 yrs, amongst other things). Your staff always knew him and greeted him with cheer.
I can say for people like yourselves 90 is the new 50!
Congratulations!

My wife, Annette, and I were blessed to meet you at the clinic when we had our physicals 10 years ago. You showed us your cliff vs declining angle graph as it pertains to health and longevity...and now you have proven your own theorem ...May our God bless you and your family for the rich investment you have made in the lives of millions of people...What a Legacy he has allowed you to build!

Wishing you a wonderful and invigorating 90th birthday! Thanks so much for sharing your life and teachings with the world.
You have influenced my life from 1977 when I was a new student at ORU and we had to watch your Aerobics video and get involved with aerobics every single semester. You helped me to understand the value of a fit, healthy body.
I had the pleasure of seeing you about 2 years ago for a checkup and you shared some wonderful memories of your life in your office. I treasure that time. God's angels are still watching over you. Blessings in Christ brother!

Happy Birthday Dr. Cooper. What a wonderful milestone. We never met but I frequented your facility a few times when I worked years ago with Roger Staubach and thought it was terrific. Then, years later, I decided to spend a day there for an executive health check-up. That was worth it as well. So, congratulations, stay healthy, and the legacy of your work and your facility lives on. All the best,
