Clarence Bass
Clarence has been an inspiration to everyone interested in exercise and diet, particularly those around his own age.
Clarence has never been stuck in a rut. He is always learning, firstly, by reading widely, secondly by talking to and learning from others, thirdly by experimenting himself on the basis of his first two strategies. Fourthly - and this is what really marks Clarence out - he carefully documents what he learns, even where he does not agree with it, and shares it with the rest of the world through his internet site www.cbass.com and his books. His writings transmit his enthusiasm for all aspects of fitness and also his ability to remain calm and unfazed by alternative views, even when those alternatives are presented intemperately. Clarence is a true gentleman.
Fifthly, Clarence's writings have elicited feedback from his many thousands of readers - and so the process of assimilating, learning, evaluating and communicating continues.
Clarence's exposition of Art de Vany's ideas on evolutionary fitness introduced me to the notion and it remains the best introduction on the net.
