She is also a water-safety instructor and worked in the summer months with her husband teaching swimming. She swam with a synchronized team in competitions and coached synchro.
Dr. Henning, a dentist and former outstanding swimmer for the US, became involved in Illinois swimming as an official. He was moved into national and international swimming by the US Olympic Swimming Committee. Eventually he became president of the Pan-American Swimming Federation and then the International Swimming Federation. Because of his involvement, we traveled a great deal to meetings and Olympic Games, where Dr. Henning was directing all the aquatic events.
Jean wrote a book about some of the inner events of the games called A Sports Odyssey, a journal of an Olympic wife, and Six Days to Swim, the story of Olympic swimmer Jeff Farrell. She has also published poetry in various magazines as well as leaving a few poems in Yugoslavia and Russia. Born and raised in Naperville, Illinois, she lives on Marco Island, Florida.vizualizați mai puține
