Doug Parker is a retired attorney who worked for the legendary Len Garment in a white-shoe NYC law firm. After his narrow loss to JFK in 1960, the firm gained a new partner, Richard Nixon. When Nixon regained the White House in 1968, he brought along some of his former associates, including Doug. When the Watergate scandal broke, Parker represented President Nixon in front of the "steely-eyed Judge Sirica" during one of the most tumultuous political moments in American history (until now). We also talked about one of his most important, and fun, cases, representing the Toronto Blue Jays as one of their players tried to get out of his contract, and major league baseball, to go the NBA and play for Red Auerbach as he built the Boston Celtics into world champions. That erstwhile infielder was named Danny Ainge. A lifelong Cubs fan, Doug is also one of the few people to span both World Series appearances, between 1948 and 2016. He also wrote the only authorized biography of famed humorist Ogden Nash: 'The only way to keep your marriage brimming / with love in the loving cup / whenever you're wrong admit it / whenever you're right, shut up.' Or 'Oh what a tangled web parents do weave / whenever they think their kids are naive. We talked about the parlous state of American politics, the decades of "wait'll next year!" that Cubs and Buffalo Bills fans have endured, and why Ojai is a special place. We did not talk about walleye rigs, the Humboldt current or Japanese confections.

This week on the podcast, we invite Doug Parker from Cruise Radio to join us for a discussion about our recent media sailing on Sun Princess. We discuss entertainment, ship layout, and dining. Join us for a fun, casual chat about the progression of this ship and how it disrupts the typical Princess Cruises build!

Her timing is perfect for National Preparedness Month in September. We've got so much to discuss in the way of natural catastrophes and other risks. [3:46] We will also talk about National Recovery Month, and how prescription opioids can impact employees and employers and why it is such an important business risk. That dovetails into last week's episode with the NCCI. [4:02] We'll talk about the NSC's Safety Congress and Expo on September 13th through the 19th in Florida and we'll also talk a bit about Lorraine's background in the U.S. Air Force, her decades at Lockheed Martin, and how those shaped her risk perspective. [4:24] Lorraine Martin, welcome back to RIMScast! [4:45] Lorraine started her career in the U.S. Air Force. Justin thanks her for her service. After the Air Force, Lorraine spent nearly 30 years at Lockheed Martin. [5:29] The Air Force and all the armed services ask their people to do high-risk things to protect our nation and support our allies around the world. As a member of the armed services, you understand how important safety is to those you protect, and the risks that go with that. [5:55] Lorraine started in the Air Force in the early '80s. Being a five-foot female in the Air Force she had combat boots and survival suits that didn't always fit. She saw the need to keep everyone safe. That means being open and expansive to make sure to cover everybody. [6:44] At Lockheed Martin, Lorraine ran some of the aircraft manufacturing programs. There was potential for serious injury and fatality (SIF), with energy, heights, and all kinds of things that need to be done safely. [7:08] The products being built had to go do important things around the world, so they had to meet safety standards for operation and bring everybody home. Lorraine needed to understand safety in manufacturing and in the mission. [7:30] Justin and Lorraine met after Lorraine joined the NSC as President and CEO in 2019. Less than a year later, COVID-19 hit the U.S. Lorraine has been at the NSC for five years. Time sometimes flew by and In some cases, it felt like the world stood still for everybody. [8:13] On RIMScast in 2020, Justin and Lorraine talked about technology and the importance of reaching people, through podcasts, Zoom, or Teams. Lorraine is responsible for providing training so people can be safe. She had to learn how to do that when she couldn't be with them. [8:40] The NSC had to become good at virtual training and helping customers and stakeholders understand what remote and virtual learning looks like. The world has come so far in understanding what people can do virtually. It's not everything! Human interaction is still critical. [9:01]  Lorraine says we learned so much, whether for drivers' fleet training or for folks doing CPR. The NSC was able to reach more people, which is great when you're talking about safety. In many cases, the NSC reached them in a more cost-effective manner for all involved. [9:27]  The NSC focused on what was happening to humans as they were being buffeted during this time, from 2020. On RIMScast, Lorraine and Justin had talked about mental health. The NSC pioneered some research that looked at how psychological safety impacts physical safety. [9:55] Lorraine believes that since 2020, we've come so far in understanding that physical safety can be impacted by many different aspects of your life like distraction, fatigue, or substance abuse, that can cause you not to be on your game. [10:22] The NSC honed in on the issue of a person not being on their game as being impaired, and they shouldn't do something that would put themselves or somebody else at risk. [10:38] The NSC leaned into trainings around being able to identify impairment and giving people the skills to take action so they can take somebody out of harm's way. It's easy to say and hard to do but so critical. [10:55] The NSC and RIMS both used the pandemic as an opportunity to dial up virtual offerings and dial back some live events. Many of the right live events have come back. There is some training that is important to be in person. [11:18] In-person collaboration and interaction support mental health. Isolation as a result of the pandemic was a burden for many folks. [11:47] The NSC received positive feedback on their SAFER initiative, ensuring people were safe in returning to work. A task force of stakeholders from government, non-profits, public health medical professionals, and Fortune 500 companies advised NSC and NSC advised workplaces. [12:30] The SAFER guidelines included ventilation, vaccination, and all of the things a business would need. It was a one-stop shop for policy statements, legal statements, and other best practices for workplaces to use to safely accommodate workers at work. [13:10] The SAFER initiative is still going on. It's funded now by the CDC. NSC is now looking at long-term COVID, mental health and well-being, the overall long-term effects of a pandemic, and how workplaces prepare for whatever's coming in the future. [14:06] Lorraine just listened to a piece on NPR about COVID-19. We're still learning. We've found a way so that most folks do not perish from it, but we don't know everything about it and probably won't for some time. [14:28] In Long COVID there's some inflammation or reaction that's still happening long after the initial symptoms. Understanding it and what we can do either to prevent or treat it is still in front of us. [14:46] Organizations that let NSC white-label guideline documents for distribution were mostly NSC member organizations. NSC has roughly 14,000 member organizations and companies. They get policies and information from NSC and they also give back so others could learn. [16:01] All of the armed services are members of the National Safety Council. Some of them use NSC training for various things. Lorraine's past employer, Lockheed Martin, has been a member for a long time. [16:13] NSC has groups called networks, made up of the larger companies, that look at big trends coming, to help the government prepare and give back to small and mid-sized companies. Lockheed Martin is in many of the networks as are other Fortune 100 companies. [16:44] It's RIMS plug time! Webinars! On September 5th, Merrill Herzog debuts on RIMS Webinars with the Role of Insurance in Building Resilience Against an Active Assailant Attack.

More RIMS Webinars will be announced soon and added to RIMS.org/Webinars. Register here. Registration is always complimentary for RIMS members. [17:50] The RIMS ERM Conference 2024 will be held November 18th and 19th in Boston, Massachusetts. The agenda is live. [18:01] The submission process is open for the RIMS ERM Global Award of Distinction. A link to the application is in this episode's show notes. The deadline for submissions is August 30th. [18:12] So review your organization's ERM program. If you feel it was successful and you have the numbers and the data to back it up, compile that information and get ready to submit your ERM program for the ERM Award of Distinction. [18:26] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal is to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals. That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [18:41] Whether you want to apply for a grant, participate in the Risk Manager on Campus program, or just learn more about Spencer, visit SpencerEd.org. [18:52] On September 12th, 2024, we look forward to seeing you at the Spencer Funding Their Future Gala at The Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Our recent guest from Episode 293, Lilian Vanvieldt-Gray, will be our honoree. [19:08] Lilian is the Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer at Alliant Insurance Services and she will be honored for her valuable contributions to supporting the future of risk management and insurance. [19:25] That was a great episode, so after you finish this one, please go back and listen to Episode 293. [19:31] Let's Conclude Our Interview! September is National Preparedness Month. NOAA has said that atmospheric and oceanic conditions continue to support an above-normal 2024 Atlantic hurricane season with a 90% probability of this result. [20:57] Organizations must do a lot to prepare for extreme weather. Extreme weather is getting more common. It affects communities but also impacts people at work. Businesses must be prepared for their businesses to continue but also to protect their people from extreme weather. [21:42] Businesses can act to protect their people from wildfires, tornadoes, storms, and heat. Heat is the deadliest weather event. Our world is getting hotter, the data shows. Many people work outside in extreme, dangerous heat. [22:18] OSHA recently issued a proposed ruling, informed by input from the NSC and its members, to keep indoor and outdoor workers safe from heat injury and illness. Employers need to incorporate these weather events into their safety programs. [22:59] You need a written heat injury and illness policy and prevention program. Document your emergency action plans. Practice them. Hold heat awareness training. Heat exhaustion and heat stress prevention is about being preventative. Know the signs, hydrate, and take shaded breaks. [23:30] Education is hugely important to prevent heat illness. NSC has resources for employers to build their safety programs. Go to NSC.org and reach out. If you haven't put in some of these extreme weather precautions to protect your employees, Lorraine urges you to do so. [24:13] September is also National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. Overdoses are the leading cause of unintentional death in the U.S. Every day we lose 200 people to an unintentional death from an overdose, compared to 100 roadway deaths. [25:16] Deaths on the job from overdoses have increased by over 600% since 2011. Overdoses make up nearly 10% of all deaths at work in the U.S. In some U.S. states the number is higher. In California, the rate of overdose deaths at work over the last 12 months was closer to 20%. [26:09] Construction and agriculture are hard hit by overdose deaths. Sometimes it's the type of work being done. Last year the FDA made naloxone, an opioid reversal medication, available over the counter. [26:39] The NSC advocates that naloxone be stocked in every workplace and all employees be trained in this life-saving reversal practice, just like with CPR or AEDs. You want to be able to administer this life-saving drug on the spot to bring someone back to life if you can. [27:03] For those workplaces where they've had a fatality due to an unintended overdose, it's devastating for the workforce, the community, and families. [27:11] We have this incredibly impactful drug and in most cases, the person has survived, and you can't hurt someone with it, whether or not they're overdosing or whether or not you've misdiagnosed them, you can't hurt them. [27:28] The NSC provides training on its website on how to do naloxone. It's virtual, and it is in a workplace language. NSC also has drug policies, legal briefs, and good samaritan laws, state by state. If somebody says they need some guide, NSC tries to find it to put it on the website. [28:26] Sixty-six percent of people with a substance use disorder of any kind have a job. The workplace is a great place to be intervening for them and having their back. [28:45] A study from the Massachusetts Dept. of Public Health found that Massachusetts working-age residents were 35% more likely to die of an opioid-related overdose if they'd previously been injured at work. [29:06] If you get hurt at work and then get prescribed an opioid, you can sometimes be on that path to a substance use issue just because you're trying to make sure that you can stay healthy and be at work. This is an important issue for our workplaces and employers to be part of. [29:27] Employees in recovery are very good employees who miss fewer days of work than the average employee and they save employers money, once they are back at work. Lorraine encourages employers to ensure employee safety, help in recovery, and get them back to work. [30:11] Labor Day is coming up. NSC offers a message for the Labor Day weekend on how many people may lose their lives if people don't drive well this Labor Day weekend: 457 across the nation. Every single death on a roadway is preventable. When you drive, do so safely. [31:50] Justin says to look for the link to the NSC 2024 Labor Day message in this episode's show notes. [31:58] The NSC Safety Congress & Expo will be held in Orlando, September 13th through the 19th. Lorraine will talk to the stakeholders and be on the stage. It's the big NSC show of the year. There is also a fundraiser around it, the NSC board meeting, and professional development.  [32:29] The main show is on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the 16th through the 18th. Speakers include Doug Parker, the head of OSHA, technical sessions, and a huge Expo floor. [32:43] There will be a cool speaker who is a blind adventurer who climbs mountains, and who will share resilience and safety-related messages. Go the the NSC Safety Congress link in this episode's notes. Lorraine looks forward to seeing everyone this year, there in Orlando. [33:12] Everyone is definitely united at the NSC Safety Congress & Expo! [33:14] Lorraine, it has been such a pleasure to see you again and to speak with you to get your perspective and insight. Thank you for rejoining us! Hopefully, the next time we have you on RIMScast, it won't be four years between visits.

In February 2013, U.S. Airways announced that it would merge with American Airlines to create the world's largest airline. During the acquisition, then-CEO Doug Parker and his board had transformative decisions to make. How should two large corporations merge their operations? Which members of each company's C-suites should stay? How fast should they move on these changes? Parker knew that these strategic decisions would send important signals to employees, customers, and competitors. In this episode, Harvard Business School senior lecturer David Fubini breaks down the strategy underlying this historic airline industry merger. He explains how Parker approached each of these strategic decisions — especially in areas, like culture and operations, where American and U.S. Airways had huge differences.Key episode topics include: strategy, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, operations strategy, aerospace sector, airlines, leadership.

In late 2020, ExxonMobil fired two computational scientists who the company suspected leaked information to the Wall Street Journal. However, following a federal whistleblower investigation, OSHA concluded that ExxonMobil's actions were illegal.  The Wall Street Journal published the article in question two years ago and alleged ExxonMobil inflated production estimates and the value of oil and gas wells in the Texas Permian Basin. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal reported a possible inaccuracy regarding ExxonMobil's claim from a 2019 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that drilling speed would increase over five years. But neither of the scientists were named as a source in the article. When ExxonMobil fired the scientists, the company cited mishandling of proprietary company information, having a “negative attitude,” losing the company management's confidence and looking for other jobs. OSHA uncovered that ExxonMobil knew one of the terminated scientists was a relative of a source the Wall Street Journal article used and would have had access to the information featured in the publication. OSHA also decided the alleged disclosure is protected under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a federal law that established auditing and financial regulations for public companies. OSHA subsequently ordered ExxonMobil to reinstate the scientists and pay them over $800,000 in back wages, interest and compensatory damages. Doug Parker, an assistant secretary for Occupational Safety and Health, described ExxonMobil's actions as “unacceptable” and said, “The integrity of the U.S. financial system relies on companies to report their financial condition and assets accurately.”

During heat waves, delivery drivers and warehouse workers are often at high risk. There are no federal heat policies, so workers get no relief or protection on the job.

And, when Manuel Vera retired, he found a new hobby: fixing up bikes. He donates those bikes after restoring them to Afghan refugees who've recently settled in Silver Springs, Maryland. WAMU's Héctor Alejandro Arzate reports.

The bill, sponsored by Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, targets slave labor in Xinjiang and surrounding provinces, where China is conducting a genocide of the Uyghur people. It passedthe House by voice vote Tuesday and is expected to be signed into law by President Joe Biden. The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act creates a “rebuttable presumption” that goods produced in Xinjiang or by certain listed Chinese business entities are produced by the forced labor of Uyghurs or other ethnic minorities. Companies may continue to import products from Xinjiang if they provide “clear and convincing evidence” to the Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection that their supply chains do not include forced labor. The bill's passage unlocks three votes to confirm Biden nominees to key State Department positions. Rubio and Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy agreed that the Republican would drop his objections to Nicholas Burns, nominated to be Ambassador to China, Ramin Toloui, nominated to be Assistant Secretary of State, and Rashad Hussain, nominated to be Ambassador for International Religious Freedom, in exchange for Murphy's lack of objection to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Glenn Loury Says America is Not White Supremacist  Play audio: 0:00-1:02 Why are people flocking here from all over the world? Because it's so oppressive and white supremacist?  Supreme Court Sends Texas Heartbeat Law Back to Appeals Court A U.S. Supreme Court decision Thursday dealt another blow to the Texas abortion industry by sending its lawsuit against the state heartbeat law back to a federal appeals court that previously allowed the legislation to go into effect. The Associated Press reports the pro-abortion groups suing to overturn the pro-life law wanted the justices to send their lawsuit back to U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman, who blocked the law in October. On Thursday, however, Justice Neil Gorsuch signed an order sending the case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals instead, according to the report. Back in October, the Fifth Circuit rejected Pitman's ruling just a few days after he issued it and allowed the law to go into effect again. Pro-life leaders estimate that the heartbeat law, which bans abortions once an unborn baby's heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy, has saved thousands of babies' lives since it went into effect Sept. 1. The law includes a unique private enforcement mechanism that allows private individuals to sue abortionists and those who “aid and abet” in abortions in violation of the law. It is this provision that has been the main focus of the legal dispute thus far. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit from President Joe Biden and rejected the Texas pro-abortion groups' request to temporarily block the law while their legal challenge continues through the courts. While the high court ruled that the Texas abortion businesses may continue with their lawsuit, it also watered down their case by allowing them to sue state licensing officials but not the state judges and clerks who are charged with handling lawsuits spurred by the law. Now, the Supreme Court is sending the case back to the Fifth Circuit for consideration, and abortion activists are losing hope — good news for the future of unborn babies in Texas. “The Supreme Court left only a small sliver of our case intact, and it's clear that this part of the case will not block vigilante lawsuits from being filed,” Marc Hearron, a lawyer with the Center for Reproductive Rights, told the AP. “It's also clear that Texas is determined to stop the plaintiffs from getting any relief in even the sliver of the case that is left.” Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California Berkeley School of Law, said he also was “stunned” that the Supreme Court allowed the law to remain in effect even though it violates Roe v. Wade. “The court's refusal to block the blatantly unconstitutional Texas law is also a strong signal that it is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Chemerinsky wrote this week at the Los Angeles Times. Texas abortion businesses are admitting a likely defeat as well. They essentially have no way to stop Texas citizens and pro-life groups from filing lawsuits against them, abortionists and abortion center staff who help abort unborn babies in violation the law. And if the law remains in effect much longer, many Texas abortion businesses may close. According to the Texas Tribune: Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman's Health, which operates four clinics in Texas and is the lead plaintiff in the providers' lawsuit, warned last week that the current volume of services is not enough to keep clinics open in the long term. “Staying open is not sustainable if this ban stays in effect much longer,” Hagstrom Miller said. “We are grateful for the donors and foundations and folks who have been supporting us in the interim … but the future looks bleak if we can't get some justice here.” Ultimately, the abortion businesses' legal challenge appears to be “doomed,” the report concluded. And that's great news for unborn babies. A new study found that, in just the first month of the law, abortions in Texas went down 50 percent. Since then, Texas abortion facility directors have reported even bigger drops in their abortion numbers, as high as 80 percent compared to the previous year, according to the Texas Tribune. The heartbeat law has the potential to save tens of thousands of unborn babies from abortion every year. In 2020, about 54,000 unborn babies were aborted in Texas, and about 85 percent happened after six weeks of pregnancy, according to state health statistics. Remaining missionaries kidnapped in Haiti by gang released https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/remaining-missionaries-kidnapped-haiti-gang-released-rcna9010?fbclid=IwAR0acBi61sVy19OtPu-G_kaiJdEj84zWLnILglQvByTNWRW3jF6WHLgd1kw A Haitian gang has released the remaining 12 hostages they had abducted — more than two months after their kidnapping, the Ohio-based religious group they work with announced Thursday.  "We glorify God for answered prayer—the remaining twelve hostages are FREE! Join us in praising God that all seventeen of our loved ones are now safe," said a statement from Christian Aid Ministries. "Thank you for your fervent prayers throughout the past two months. We hope to provide more information as we are able." Haiti National Police Spokesman Gary Desrosiers also confirmed to NBC News that the hostages had been found safe, but would not say where they had been taken. Seventeen people working with the group were kidnapped in October by the 400 Mawozo gang, which controls the Ganthier commune in the suburb of Port-au-Prince where the missionaries were taken. Christian Aid Ministries had previously said that those who were kidnapped were sixteen U.S citizens and one Canadian citizen — six men, six women, and five children. The missionaries were returning from an orphanage, an hour and a half from Christian Aid Ministries Haiti base and often visited by their staff, when they were taken. The group, based in Millersburg, Ohio, repeatedly called for supporters to fast and pray for the safe release of the hostages, at one point earlier this month encouraging Christians to fast for three days. In November, two of the missionaries were released, and another three were freed earlier this month Fight Laugh Feast Magazine DNB Our Fight Laugh Feast Magazine is a quarterly issue that packs a punch like a 21 year Balvenie, no ice.

CEO of Southwest Airlines, Gary Kelly, Play Audio “I concur,” Doug Parker, the head of the country's largest airline, American Airlines, added. “An aircraft is the safest place you can be. It's true of all of our aircraft — they all have the same HEPA filters and airflow.” Both airline chiefs insisted that the high-quality air filters on their planes bring in new air and reduce the spread of COVID-19.

As the pandemic locked down cities and would-be travelers stayed home, the airline industry begged the government for  bailouts — and got them, to the tune of $54 billion. The funds were supposed to help airlines avoid furloughs and ramp up more quickly once travel returned. But this summer, chaos hit anyway, with airlines like American, Southwest, and Spirit racking up cancellations in the face of crew shortages.In this conversation, Kara Swisher asks Doug Parker, the C.E.O. and chairman of American Airlines, why the industry is still struggling to provide decent service and whether taxpayer dollars were wasted in the bailouts. They also discuss why the company “doesn't deserve” Warren Buffett's money, the in-flight rage over airline mask policies — and why Kara would make a terrible flight attendant. You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

No one word can justify the legend of Coach Jim Anderson, and the many that know him, characterize him in one word - Intense! To this day, Anderson's impact is felt through the example he set as a student-athlete and coach on Alden Street. A product of Hanover Park high school in Northern New Jersey, Anderson joins the PrideCast to talk about a fascinating career progression in athletics and business. Anderson's introduction to wrestling occurred under Coach Joseph Krufka, a 1952 Olympic Alternate and 1955 NCAA runner-up to legendary, Dan Hodge. Coming from humble beginnings, Anderson would go on to wrestle for Coach Doug Parker at Springfield, and met financial challenges along the way that derailed him from finishing his college career in the traditional four year span. The New Jersey native discusses his brief departure from Springfield to pursue a career in the Marines and start a family. He also shares what led to his return to Alden Street to finish his undergraduate career. Anderson went on to become a New England Champion in 1966 at 167lbs. Following a short stint as an educator in New York Public Schools, Anderson pursued the opportunity to complete a graduate degree while being an Assistant Wrestling Coach under Doug Parker, and leading Springfield's Men's Lacrosse program for eight seasons where he tallied 50 wins. The former men's lacrosse coach left Alden Street to travel globally to serve in a plethora of occupations including Westinghouse, and building theme parks in Indonesia, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and more.

One of the earliest and most accomplished wrestlers of the Legendary Doug Parker era is Oneida, New York native, Rick Moyer '62. Rick Moyer has left an indelible impact on the wrestling community as a wrestler, coach, administrator, and above all, mentor. Coach Moyer joins the PrideCast to discuss his transformation under Doug Parker, the rich tradition of Springfield Wrestling, the lessons he's learned as a coach and educator, and the memories of being teammates and roommates with Japan Olympic Team Member and Benihana founder, Hiraoki Aoki. A standout for the Pride, Moyer was undefeated in varsity dual meets (36-0) in his three years of competition from 1959-62, named the Outstanding Wrestler in the New England Championships, and a key contributor to four New England Team Championships. A co-captain 1961-62, Moyer was held in high regard among his peers as the President of the Varsity "S" Club. Moyer served as a graduate assistant with Doug Parker and the Pride from 1962-63 while earning his Master's. After a one year stint with his alma mater, Moyer ventured to Amityville, Long Island, where he served as the Head Wrestling Coach at Amityville from 1963-1967. Following a successful run at Amityville, Moyer moved back to New England and assumed the role as Head Coach at Wayland in Massachusetts. After coaching at Wayland for over 30 years and serving as the Athletic Director for 10 years, Rick retired in 1997 with 478 dual meet wins. He also served as the President of the National Federation of High School Coaches and Officials. For his decades of competing, mentoring, and coaching he was inducted into 6 different halls of fame including the Oneida Athletic, Wayland Athletic, Springfield College Pride Athletic HOF in 1998 and the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2002.
