As he freefalls
into his golden
years, Art Riggs
gives thanks for
the serendipitous
events that
led him to a
bodywork career.
He fi nds great
gratifi cation in
the fascinating
chess game of structural bodywork
and an occasional vacation blended
with teaching in faraway, fun places.
When Jeffrey
A. Simancek
isn't teaching
or delivering
massage, he
takes advantage
of the fun and
adventure life
brings. He often
volunteers
with the Boy
Scouts, local businesses, and special
events. In his free time, Jeffrey's
busy in his garage creating some
fascinating and unique project.

There are
four things
Philadelphia's
Mark Liskey
can't live
without:
his wife,
Lisa; rescue
kitties;
travel; and
brown rice.
Alternatively, there are four things
he can live without: meat, dairy,
hair loss, and the Dallas Cowboys
winning another Super Bowl.
