On August 14, 1953, the wiffle ball received its patent and is still one of the most legendary and universally popular outdoor activities today. Thanks to the creativity of one man who was just trying to create a "curve" ball for his son, millions of people are actively entertained. In this month's FITT column, read about how another man is attempting to revolutionize fitness (again!) and what's being done to make it accessible. Given the health status and activity limitations reported in today's society, a true innovator should look to address universal design and inclusion in most any creation. This month's Director's and Nutrition columns also address current issues affecting people today - finding purpose in our lives and finding money (or not!) in our wallets.
