Arthur L. Dickinson, Ph.D., 91, passed away May 3, 2017. Art enlisted in the Navy and was assigned to a landing ship in the Pacific Theater for the duration of World War II. After the war, he continued his education, ultimately earning his PhD in Kinesiology and Applied Physiology. Art taught In the Department of Physical Education at ASU and in what is now the Department of Integrative Physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder. While at Boulder, he was selected to join the sports medicine staff working for the US Olympic Nordic ski team in 1976 (the year the US first medaled in Nordic Skiing). Art was an early member of the American College of Sports Medicine and was the Founding President of the Rocky Mountain Region of that organization. He founded the Human Performance Lab in 1968, and, in 1979, created a wellness testing and evaluation program for police and firefighters to identify risk factors of lifestyle disease in persons working in highly stressful and physically demanding jobs. Art retired from running this program at age 84, but it is still alive and well and actively functioning as the University of Colorado Wellness Program. In addition, Art worked to develop a program to test the athletic potential of college seniors who tried out for the NFL at their combines. These tests were used by the Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Rams and Seattle Seahawks. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Frances and a daughter. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, three daughters, a son, two step-daughters, a sister, two grandchildren and four step-grandchildren. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Boulder, CO on May 17.
