				Jefferson T. Hennessy Papers
				Collection 155 Hennessy, Jefferson T. (1929- ). Papers, 1958-1985 3 feet
				Jeff Hennessy served as a member of USL's Health and Physical Education Department from 1959 until 1985. During that time he coached the USL gymnastics and trampoline teams. His squads were among the best in the United States and he coached several international champions. Hennessy was active in national and international trampoline organizations as an official and as a coach of U. S. national teams. The collection reflects Hennessy's coaching career and his efforts to promote the sport of trampoline. It contains information on his USL squads and results of many of the meets in which they participated. The collection also has records reflecting Hennessy's involvement in international organizations. There is a good deal of material on Hennessy's most successful pupils including Frank Schmitz, Wayne Miller, and Leigh Hennessy who were national and/or international champions and Judi Ann Ford who reigned as Miss America, 1968-1969. The collection was donated by Jeff Hennessy.
