Just read that Arthur Jones has passed away at the age of 80. I had the pleasure of going to his "compound" for a seminar in Deland/Ocala back in the early 80's. the Compound had an airstrip with a waiting plane, Gorillas in glass pens, it was like a scene out of a James Bond movie. Sat on the bus next to Wayne Wescott (noted exercise physiologist) and his wife. Ray and Mike Mentzer were there doing a book with Boyer Coe. Ellington Darden showed me the proper way to use the new Nautilus Ab machine. Arthur was doing a study with twins and exercise at the time. You would see one twin girl that had normal musculature, and another twin girl who was fairly muscular- it was a bizarre world, but I was fortunate enough to get a glimspe of it. Rest in peace Mr. Jones.
