SPRING 2010 VOL. 3 ISSUE 1 LIFE UNIVERSITY’S ALUMNI MAGAZINE

PRESIDENT’S letter

On Jan. 21, 2010, Life University launched“Follow the Path of Life,” a new campus-wide ini-tiative marking the 35th anniversary of the firstclasses held at what was originally known as LifeCollege of Chiropractic. The yearlong celebration,which is detailed in the feature story of YourExtraordinary Life, was created to document Life’shistory and honor the significant people whoshaped the university’s past, are shaping the pres-ent and will shape the future.

As we observe Life’s anniversary I find myselfreflecting on how much we are guided by our past,and realize that, considering the relatively shorthistory of Life University, our current success andvision for the future are that much more remark-able. What better time to celebrate and documentour history, and what better way to illustrate howfar we’ve come and how much has changed.

Speaking of how far we’ve come, the College ofUndergraduate Studies continues to make greatstrides in terms of enrollment and curriculum. SigmaBeta Delta, an academic honor society marking thehighest level a college business student canachieve, recently opened a chapter on Life’s cam-pus. Another organization, Phi Beta Lambda, thecollege tier of the Future Business Leaders of Amer-ica, recently held its regional conference and com-petition on Life University’s campus. Read moreabout the exciting new things happening at the Col-lege of Undergraduate Studies in the “What’s New”section that begins on page 2.

Another major Life milestone is the opening ofthe new Socrates Café. After much anticipation ournew dining facility opened in January. The commit-ment to healthy, good-quality food, preparationand service offered by Bon Appetit, the café’s foodservice provider, is in direct alignment with Life’sphilosophy and our efforts to green the campus. Thecafé obtains the majority of its beef, poultry, fish,dairy and produce from 28 local farmers who incor-porate organic practices (eliminating the use ofpesticides and antibiotics and adhering to strictguidelines with regard to the humane treatment ofanimals) in raising and growing their products. Aswe become leaders in total wellness, we must firstdo so by example——the Socrates Café is one suchexample of practicing what we preach. Read moreabout the café and our new nutrition program facil-ities on pages 14 and 15.

As Life celebrates its illustrious history and visionfor the future, we also celebrate all of you who areon the journey with us. I hope you make a commit-ment to “Follow the Path of Life” this year and walkalong with us as we continue to make history.

Sincerely,

Dr. Guy F. RiekemanPresident, Life University

What’s New atLife

Dr. Jim Eaton and his wife Pam

Far Side of the WorldIn February, Dr. Jim Eaton and his wifePam embarked on the trip of a lifetime. A career journey rather than a vacation,Eaton will become Life’s new clinic direc-tor in Zigong, China. Eaton has served onthe faculty at Life University as an asso-ciate professor of the College of Chiro-practic and, more recently, as an adjunctprofessor and faculty clinician at theCenter for Health and Optimum Perform-ance. Eaton will be taking over the dutiesof Dr. George Hui, who has been in Zigongfor the past two years.

While most people his age arethinking about retiring and

moving to a beach, Eaton iseager to start this newchapter in his life. “When Igraduated in 1992, there

was a program called LifeAround the World,” he says.

“Pam and I always wanted toparticipate in this program, but it neverworked out. Now this opportunity hascome along, and we decided the time isfinally right.”

Life University continues to expandits global role, as well as growing therole of chiropractic in China. In a countryof 1.4 billion people, there are onlyabout 20 chiropractors. Zigong containsthe No. 1 “people’s hospital” in theregion and, within this facility, Lifeoperates the only chiropractic-affiliatedprogram with a hospital in all of China.Life University currently has six studentsworking in the clinic, adjusting around

600 patients per month. Eaton is hopingto take the clinic to the next level interms of activity and influence.

“This is an astronomical opportunity,”says Eaton, who will spend a minimum oftwo years in Zigong, with his wife Pamalong for the adventure. Eaton has beentaking a course in Mandarin Chinese, andhe and Pam have been making languageflashcards, because they feel it necessaryto honor the traditions of their hosts byspeaking the local language. The hospitalin Zigong also has translators availablefor the students and the Eatons–– makingthe transition as easy as possible. To follow Eaton as he embarks on his newadventure, visit the Life Clinic throughBlogspot, where daily posts give readersa glimpse into the pioneering work ofspreading chiropractic throughout China.

Millennial Health StudyIn an effort to become a future healthcare leader, Life University recently con-ducted a nationwide survey about thehealth attitudes of Millennials––youngpeople ages 15 to 27. Though this grouphas long been a hot commodity amongmarketers looking to explore and under-stand their buying habits, Life’s survey isthe first study ever attempted to examineand determine the generation’s attitudestoward health.

While the results are in some wayspredictable, they are also surprising inmany unexpected ways. For exam-ple, on a scale of one to 10, 84percent of Millennials ratetheir health higher than aseven. They also believe theyare healthier than their par-ents, and will remain health-ier, even when they reach theirparents’ age. However, their habitswould suggest otherwise; more than halfsay they eat junk food several times aweek and drink soda regularly, and 44percent say they don’t workout on a reg-ular basis. Is this simply wishful-thinkingby the younger generation? Or does thesurvey indicate a lack of proper education?

Life University recently releasedthese and many other findings to themedia. The goals of the study are tounderstand the attitudes Millennials haveabout health, and to begin positioningLife University and chiropractic as thego-to thought-leader when it comes tonon-medical health issues. Look out forthought-provoking trend stories andreports in local or national media outletsbased on Life University’s cutting-edgefindings.

AROUND campus

from 2002 to 2004. Ribley hired Dr. GuyRiekeman, Life’s current president, andtogether they paved the way for Life tobecome, once again, the largest chiro-practic college in the world.

“It was a day of mixed emotions,”says Riekeman, addressing Ribley’sretirement. “Chuck Ribley is a visionary,leader, humanitarian and, most of all, agreat friend. We will look for ways to usehis vast perspective, contacts and coun-sel as we move the goals and vision ofLife University forward.”

Shawn Ferguson, D.C., was unani-mously elected Chairman of the Board,effective immediately. Ferguson hasserved on the Board of Trustees for sevenyears. He and his wife Karen Ferguson,D.C., have been in practice in Acworth,Ga., since 1995, where they focus onfamily health and wellness. “I look forwardto building on the legacy that has beenhanded down from Dr. Ribley,” Fergusonsays. “We have been moving Life Universityinto a new era of educational excellenceand we are ready to fulfill and build onthe vision laid out by our founders 36years ago.”

Chuck Ribley Retires from Board of TrusteesOn Jan. 22, after 36 years of committedand inspiring leadership, Charles Ribley,D.C., announced his retirement from theBoard of Trustees of Life University. Dr. Ribley is one of the founders of LifeUniversity––having participated in theconceptualization of Life’s mission morethan three decades ago. The original ideafor Life University started in the early1970s, during walks at Ormond Beach,Fla., where the founders of the universitycrafted their vision and then transformedthat vision into a reality.

“I’m proud of what we’ve accom-plished over the last 36 years,” Ribleysays. “We had a vision, on that beach inFlorida, of making a difference in theworld, and today our graduates are deliv-ering health care to millions of people invirtually every country in the world.”

Ribley served on the board from thevery beginning, and soon Life Universitygrew to be the largest chiropractic col-lege in the world. He also took the reinsas board chair at the start of the univer-sity’s accreditation crisis, which lasted

Business Conference Comes to CampusIn early March, the Life UniversityBusiness School hosted the Phi BetaLambda Business Conference oncampus. Phi Beta Lambda is a non-profit education association affili-ated with the Future BusinessLeaders of America. Students from

business, technology, leadership andother majors squared off in a varietyof business-related competitions toearn spots at the state conferencecompetition, held in April.

“The conference is an importantopportunity for Life to welcomestudents from so many colleges anduniversities in the Atlanta area,”says Dr. Ron Kath, chair of thebusiness school at Life University.“We are proud of the hard work ofour own business students in PhiBeta Lambda, and appreciate theopportunity this competition bringsfor all participants to hone theirbusiness skills.”

New Business Honor SocietyIn February, Life University’s College ofUndergraduate Studies was approved bySigma Beta Delta to have a chapter oncampus. Membership in Sigma Beta Deltais the highest national recognition abusiness student can receive at a collegeor university. To be eligible for member-ship, a student must rank in the top 20percent of his or her junior, senior ormaster’s class. Much like other honorsocieties like Phi Beta Kappa, member-ship is a distinction that garners atten-tion from job recruiters, and allowsmembers to attend national and regionalconferences for jobs and networkingpossibilities.

“Recruiters know top-notch businessstudents are members of Sigma BetaDelta,” says Dr. Michael Smith, interimdean of the College of UndergraduateStudies. Smith plans to add other honorsocieties at Life for students studyingbiology, nutrition, psychology and exercisescience. “We have top-notch students inthe undergraduate school and awarenessof scholastic achievement is importantbecause it improves morale and rewardsstudents for their hard work.”

As the College of UndergraduateStudies continues to expand at Life University, honor society distinctions areparamount if Life is to be known for pro-ducing scholars––not just in the state ofGeorgia but also nationwide and inter-nationally.

and a master’s degree in African-Americanhistory, with certification in women’sstudies at the University of South Carolina.She has taught African-American historyat Savannah State University and then atSpartanburg Community College, whileattending Sherman College of Chiropractic.

“I was excited to see that more thanjust African-Americans registered for thecourse; though they need to know theirown history, so do white, Asian andLatino students,” Herman says. “I wantstudents to leave my class knowingsomething they didn’t know before. I wantthem to be better critical thinkers andless prone to believing the stereotypessociety tends to display in our media.”

Life University’s College of Undergradu-ate Studies has added its first African-American history course to thecurriculum ––African-American Historyto 1877——taught by Charmaine Herman,D.C.

The course was the brainchild of for-mer Undergraduate Studies Dean andDiversity Committee Chair, Dr. JerryHardee. Dr. Hardee wanted to see Lifeoffer courses that would better preparegraduates to enter an increasinglydiverse global community.

Prior to completing her chiropracticdegree, Dr. Herman completed under-graduate degrees in biology and history

Rekindling an Old RivalryIn February, the Life University basketball team renewed itsrivalry with neighboring Southern Polytechnic State University,also located in Marietta. In their first meeting since 2002, LifeUniversity’s Running Eagles came out on top, 83 to 74. The twoNAIA teams began playing each other in 1991 and, since thattime, Life holds a 16 to 1 advantage in the match-up.

“We’re thrilled to death to bring back this rivalry,” says JohnBarrett, Life University’s basketball coach. “It’s a great match-up between two storied programs, and hopefully we can playevery year.”

The Running Eagles have been on a roll this year, and rodetheir winning momentum into the Southern States Athletic Con-ference tournament held in early March. The Running Eagleshave advanced to the NAIA National Championship Tournament,which began in Kansas City on March 17.

Sports Star Search

You may have seen a familiar face in Clint Eastwood’s

acclaimed new movie, “Invictus,” starring Matt Damon. The

Oscar-nominated movie details the struggles of the South

African national rugby team and their quest to win the World

Cup in the aftermath of apartheid. During one scene in the

movie, before the start of a match, the players from both

teams file out of a tunnel and run onto the pitch. As Matt

Damon’s character is leading the South African team onto the

field, the player leading the other team is Life University’s

Patrick Bell, a member of the Life SuperLeague team. Congratu-

lations on your big-screen moment, Patrick!

Ruggers on a RollLife University continues to set the standard ofexcellence in college rugby. Rugby magazinerecently voted Life University Rugby Club of theYear, and Head Coach Dan Payne was namedCoach of the Year. Three of Life’s players havealso been selected to play on the U.S. Men’sNational Team, with several more top playerscontending for the honor in the future.

Life has two teams competing this year––SuperLeague and Division 1, with SuperLeagueakin to the major leagues and Division 1 analo-gous to AAA. The SuperLeague team finished sec-ond in the country in 2009 and is looking to buildon its success in 2010. Though the SuperLeaguehas yet to embark on the meat of their schedule,the team is undefeated. “The guys have beentraining hard,” Payne says. “Finishing No. 2 lastyear left a bitter taste in a lot of the guys’mouths, but they continue to work hard toimprove upon that finish from last year.”

The Division 1 team, made up of mostlyundergraduate students, is also undefeated intheir season. They are ranked No. 1 in the South-ern region, having recently posted a 96 to 0 routon Nashville.

With two teams playing at such a high level,Coach Payne is quick to point out that, “From anadministrative and logistical standpoint, therehave been a ton of moving parts that have beenhandled by numerous people. The goal was tocreate a scenario where the younger guys experiencegame time in order to become better athletes, andthat is going to pay off in the long run.”

COVER story

BY CRAIG DEKSHENIEKS

It all began 35 years ago,during a walk on Florida’sscenic Ormand Beach. Asthey made their way acrossthe hard-packed Atlanticsand, listening to the hum ofmigrant waves, a group ofpassionate and motivatedindividuals had a vision—a vision that became LifeUniversity.

FollowthePathof Life

On Jan. 20, 1975, the first class of 22

students walked through the doors of a

small building, half of which was the

Marietta unemployment office, while the

other half was an being leased by a new

college called Life. From these humble

beginnings, Life’s first class blazed the

trail to what is now an alumni universe of

over 19,000.

As Life University looks to the future,

it must first appreciate its storied and

improbable past. This year, as Life

celebrates its 35th anniversary, the

university is not celebrating for just one

day, or even one month, but an entire

year that recounts the history of the

university through a program called

“Follow the Path of Life.”

The goals of the year-long program

are threefold:

1) To create a major and permanent

document of Life University’s history,

including a book, which will ultimately

be incorporated into the curriculum.

2) To honor significant Life leaders who

shaped the past, are shaping the

present and will shape the future.

3) To create and preserve archives

consisting of materials such as

pictures, documents and artifacts,

and to record video and oral histories

from our founders. All of these elements

will be the main components of a

future museum to be housed on campus.

From these humble beginnings, Life’s

first class blazed the trail to what is now

an alumni universe of over 19,000.

Life University’s History Committeeand the Board of Trustees are determinedto preserve and celebrate the university’sunique history through a series ofquarterly events held throughout 2010.The first quarter has focused on honoringsignificant people who helped create andshape Life University. As part of theprogram, in January, Life welcomed nineof the original founders back to campusto be recognized for their contributions.In honor of their service and leadership,the founders took part in a ceremony

where their feet and hand prints werepreserved in concrete as a living tributeto the humble origins of the university.Honorees included Drs. Jim Gregg, JohnHoffman, Tom and Mary Ann Morgan,Mike Nathanson, Chuck and Ruth Ribleyand Sid and Nell Williams.

In the second quarter of the “Followthe Path of Life” program, the universitywill begin collecting documents, videosand oral histories. The goal is to amass100 hours of audio and videotape to be part of a future campus museum.

The third quarter will be dedicated tohighlighting and appreciating the politicaland professional implications of LifeUniversity in relation to the chiropracticcommunity. The fourth quarter will focuson the creation of permanent archives,as well as involving the faculty indetermining ways to include Life’shistory into the curriculum. And finally,in 2011, the area set aside for themuseum will be designated, and thepublication of the book will commence.

Through the efforts of “Follow thePath of Life,” there is much to celebrateand many people involved. Life’s currentstudents have also been participating bytrying to piece together their ownunderstanding of Life’s history. Insteadof spoon-feeding them the names, datesand significant events, the students havebeen given the incentive to investigateon their own and find significant namesin the history of Life, which includeeveryone from original students and firstfaculty members to founding boardmembers of the Ladies For Life.

Life University wants you to beinvolved too! If you have an old picture,a textbook from days gone by, or anyother memorabilia from the early days ofLife on campus, please considerdonating your treasured artifacts to themuseum. If it has been a while since youhave visited the campus, we welcomeyou to attend the next Life event. Eachand every one of you is a part of thehistory of Life University. Come followthe path of Life.

café is easy on a college budget——a maindish, side and drink averages about $6.

After the meal is over the environ-mental perks don’t end, as the café is azero-waste facility. Every facet of themeal is biodegradable, compostable orrecycleable——even the plates and silver-ware. At the end of the day, all the wasteis broken down, compacted and thenused as natural fertilizer for the newcampus garden. When combined with thelow electrical use, the café is a nearzero-energy consumption facility.

“It is refreshingly different fromwhere we were before,” says William Jarr,vice president of Operations and Financefor the university. “Socrates Café wasbuilt with the idea of changing the envi-ronment on this campus and also provid-ing more food choices that aresubstantially more consistent with ourphilosophy and direction.”

The Visioneers Group, a campus-basedfocus group representing all segments ofthe university, met months in advanceduring the planning stages to create an

atmosphere that lives and breathes phys-ical wellness. Their vision was translatedto architects and designers, resulting in aspace that allows patrons to see, feel,hear and consume health.

The Visioneers Group hit a home run,as the café is packed during peak lunchhours, and remains abuzz with activity allday long. “We have created more than adining facility here,” Jarr says. “We’vecreated a campus center for students,which should be a welcome addition as wefurther the authentic university experience.”

The Socrates Café was constructedaccording to the Leadership in Energyand Environmental Design (LEED) GreenBuilding Rating System, a third-partycertification program utilized by archi-tects, engineers, interior designers,landscape architects, construction man-agers and government officials to effec-tively build according to environmentalsustainability. Sustainability focuses onfive areas of environmental and humanhealth: water conservation, energy effi-ciency, sustainable site development,indoor environmental quality and theselection of green materials.

A New Foodie FacilityAt the same time the Socrates Caféopened its doors to hungry students, theDepartment of Nutrition recently relo-cated to a brand new 3,465-square-footsection of the Center for UndergraduateStudies. The beautiful, state-of-the-artnutrition facility includes seven offices,a reception area, a work-study room andfood science/kitchen lab with six work-stations and research area, as well as aculinary demonstration amphitheater.Additionally, the department has dedi-cated rooms for the dietetic interns, anutrition research clinic, assessment labsand a nutrition clinic at the Center forHealth and Optimum Performance (CHOP).

The nutrition department is undoubt-edly one of the best facilities in the

country for nutrition education andresearch. The department’s new facilityallows faculty members to assemble stu-dents in smaller groups, providing morehands-on practice of culinary skills. Theuse of state-of-the-art equipment hasalso exposed students to technology thatwill be an asset to them when seekingcareers in the field of food and nutrition.

The new food labs are an asset to thenutrition department, especially duringthe four nutrition courses that involve labwork——“Introduction to Food Science,”“Principles of Food Preparation,” “Quan-tity Food Production” and “CulinaryCooking.” The clean walls, subdued colors,new lab equipment, shiny stainless-steeltables and quartz countertops have greatlyimproved the learning environment sothat students are encouraged to learnand attend classes regularly.

The culinary demonstrationamphitheater features stadium seating

and a large flat-screen TV mountedabove the professor/chef staging areafor the purpose of viewing, from a fixedcamera, what is being demonstrated onthe stove. Since the media-savvy facili-ties are very similar to those seen on theFood Network, the video feed from thedemonstration kitchen will eventually befed to the flat-screen monitors lining thewalls of Socrates Café.

The new facilities mean that Life Uni-versity is able to accommodate moredietetics and nutrition students, as wellas dietetic interns. When the AmericanDietetic Association’s accreditationagency approves the new program,dietetic interns will be able to conductsome of their rotations at the new facili-ties. The new facilities will also increasethe amount of research conducted atLife, as evidenced by the start of a newmaster’s degree program in clinical nutri-tion, which will begin in the fall of 2010.

The Visioneers Group hit a home run, as the café is packed duringpeak lunch hours, and remains abuzz with activity all day long.

Nutrition for Optimum PerformanceLife University’s commitment to wellness is further exemplified by the nutrition coun-seling now offered at the Center for Health and Optimum Performance. The counselingprovided at the center goes far beyond simple advice on eating healthier.

Ilana Katz, a clinic consultant who offers counseling to patients, creates individu-alized meal plans that take all the aspects of a person’s life into consideration,whether an elite athlete, a busy executive or a stay-at-home mom or dad. Katz willeven go to the grocery store with patients to help educate them on how to read labelsand recognize healthy ingredients.

Katz, who maintains a private practice and consults with the Life clinic a fewhours per week, believes that chiropractic care, along with nutrition, isabout optimum energy, regardless of yourlifestyle. “We have a wide rangeof tools to enhance lives andoverall health, includingweight managementand fitness, alongwith other stressrelievers,” Katz says.“Wellness needs to be apackage approach.”

Life Pioneer Dr. Gary Craft

ALUMNI spotlight

IN TODAY’S WORLD, it seems like students stay in college far longer than fours years.People often say, “He’s on the five-year plan,” but Life University’s Dr. Gary Craftmust be on the 36-year plan. When Life University held its first class in January of1975, one of the first students who walked through the doors was a curly-haired,mustachioed chiropractic hopeful named Gary Craft. He liked college so much, he neverleft. The hair and moustache may be gone, but the same elements that drew him toLife University during its embryonic stages are what have kept him here ever since.

17


“We started out with 25 students inour class that first day,” Craft recalls.“After the first week, three had left cam-pus––two had transferred to Palmer anda third student, Art, drove his VW Beetleback to California. When the schooleventually received its first skeleton foruse in labs, the class named it after Art.”Craft, originally from Florida, did hisundergraduate work at the University ofAlabama and then attended Logan Col-lege of Chiropractic for one semester. “It was too cold!” he says. “When Lifeopened, the weather and the fact that itwas closer to my family drew me there.”

Once he began classes at Life, Craftknew he was in the right place. “Theatmosphere was much like family. Every-one cared for everyone else. Most of thestudents lived at the Barclay ArmsApartments (now The Commons), so ifsomeone did not show up for class, astudent was sent to check on them.”Craft does remember one student withrather unusual housing arrangements.

“We actually had a student who lived ina teepee across the road in the woodsnear the waterfall. She didn’t have topay for rent this way––I guess.”

Craft has seen a lot ofchanges at Life over the years.

“The one thing that hasstayed consistent aboutLife University has beenchange.” Craft recalls that

in the early years, as eachnew class began coursework,

a new classroom was built;portable walls in the main building

were expanded to make room for addi-tional classes. Students were hired to doall the maintenance jobs, since therewas no maintenance department.

Craft also became one of the firstlibrary employees. “We had a libraryfrom the beginning with Mrs. Hill servingas the librarian. I was hired to assist Mrs.Hill in creating shelves for books thatwere donated to the school and for cat-aloguing donations. Many books weredonated by chiropractors in the field.The library originally consisted of onesquare table with four chairs and onecopy machine, which was the only one inthe school.”

Craft was president of the university’spioneer class when they graduated in1977. He fondly recalls that Sen. HermanTallmadge was one of the guest speakersat the graduation dinner. The inauguralclass also presented the first class giftto Life––the flagpole still stands in frontof the administration building.

After graduation, Craft was hired as aninstructor at Life. He taught full-timeuntil 1982, then worked as the assistantregistrar, the dean of students in institu-tional research and, finally, moved on toadmissions. Craft now works on develop-ing and managing articulation agreementsfor all of Life’s academic programs. Artic-ulation agreements create partnershipswith other chiropractic schools, highschools or colleges and universities bymatching coursework between schools.These agreements are designed to helpstudents make a smooth transition whentransferring from another school to Life.For example, Southern Polytechnic StateUniversity recognizes Life’s B.B.A. degreeas the prerequisite for their M.B.A. program.

Being an educator runs in Craft’sfamily. His father was a high schoolprincipal and his wife was a gymnasticscoach at his former high school. She nowteaches middle school in the CobbCounty School System. The Crafts havetwo sons in college; Scott, a history majorat Kennesaw State University who wantsto become a teacher, and Adam, who willreceive an M.B.A. degree in May from theUniversity of Charleston in West Virginia.

Craft still loves to teach. When askedabout his favorite class as an instructor,he says, “It doesn’t matter. I enjoy thecontact with the students. They keep meyoung.” With an attitude like that, and afire for chiropractic that still burnsbrightly, perhaps Craft will end up on the40- or even 50-year plan. Life Universitycan only hope so.

Once he began classes at Life, Craft knew he was in the right place.

“The atmosphere was much like family.Everyone cared for everyone else.”

The Three Musketeers

STUDENT spotlight

BY CRAIG DEKSHENIEKS

BEN, JOE AND JON are the next generation of the Fonke chiropractic dynasty. Ben is the seriousone and, at age 25, also the oldest. Joe, the middle brother at 23 years old, is the nice one.

The family comedian is baby brother Jon, age 22. Though many three-brother families have a

multitude of time-worm stories involving broken bones, bloodstained carpets, stitches and

scars from good times gone bad, the Fonke brothers are a different breed entirely. Though

they live in close quarters, play intramural sports on the same team, watch Sunday football

together in their matching recliners, and never miss an episode of Fox’s “24,” the biggest

debate among these biological best friends is where to eat, what to eat and what to watch.

“We’ve never had any serious physicalfights,” says Joe. “We’ve always beenclose,” adds Ben. Due to the closeness oftheir ages, they all attended high schooland graduated from college at the sametime. Now they are all in the DC programtogether at Life University. “We becamereally close at an early age,” says Jon. Allthree brothers are quick to credit theirparents for the peaceful climate in theirhousehold.

The Fonke brothers grew up in HighPoint, N.C., where their parents Dan andVictoria started their own chiropracticpractice shortly after graduating fromLife University in 1997. And while childrenof chiropractic parents are naturallydrawn to the profession, each son has adifferent chiropractic catalyst.

For Ben, his interest in his parent’soccupation began in fifth grade when hewas having almost bi-monthly ear infec-tions. Ben winces at the memory. “Thepain was excruciating,” he recalls. “Itwas the middle of the night and I’mawake again in pain, and my mother,who was still a student at the time, camein and adjusted my atlas. I was able tosleep through the night, and I can’tremember even having an ear infectionafter that night.” Ben knew early on thatchiropractic was his calling, saying, “I’vebeen telling people since high schoolthat I wanted to be a chiropractor.”

Joe is a little more philosophicalabout his foray into chiropractic. “I’vealways maintained that you don’t chooseit, it chooses you,” he says, of the pro-fession. With a mother and father, twouncles and his brother already in chiro-practic, Joe thought he might do some-thing different. He was in graduateschool at N.C. State, studying mathe-matics, when he had an epiphany. “Irealized one night that mathematicswouldn’t be helping people in the way Ifelt I could and should be. So, I decided

right then and there to do it––to becomea chiropractor.”

For Jon, the turning point came oneday during a visit to his parents’ practice.“We were always running around at myparents’ practice, helping a little, play-ing a little, and I never really paid thatmuch attention to what was going onthere,” he says, reflectively. “This oneparticular day, I remember a womanarrived at the office, and she couldn’tget out of her car. She was in so muchpain––her body all twisted and contorted.My mom adjusted her twice a day, andwithin a week she could walk and standup straight! No drugs, no surgery, justthe power of the adjustment. At thatpoint, I just knew what I was going to be.”

Though the Fonke brothers may bestudying hard in school, that doesn’tmean they don’t have time for a little bitof fun too. All three brothers stand wellover six feet tall, making their intramuralbasketball team a formidable opponenton the court. In their last game, they wonby 49 points. Intramural flag footballand softball are also regular activities

for the brothers, as well as meeting up atthe Wellness Center to pump some iron.And once a year, all three lanky brotherspile into one car for their annual roadtrip to watch the Carolina Panthers foot-ball team play at home.

Ben also had the privilege of adjustingboth his younger siblings while in studentclinic. Joe says he has great hands, butJon says he was a little hard on the tho-racic adjustment. “That’s the reason wehave student clinic––to work these thingsout,” Ben reminds them, with a laugh.Ben is in 10th quarter, while Joe and Jonare in first, though their futures arealready secure.

Ben is going back to North Carolina towork in his father’s practice in Greensboro.Joe and Jon are also headed back to NorthCarolina, where they will start their careersin their mother’s practice in High Point.Will they live together again back home?“We’ll have to wait and see on that,” jokesJon. For now, the Fonke brothers willcontinue on the path set forth by theirparents, and they look forward to makingtheir mark on the world after graduation.
