Cooper Robert

American astrologer, AFAs third executive secretary 12/31/1970 (succeeding Paul Grell), after 25 years experience in engineering and management. He was given the Fellow honor award in 1978 at the Atlanta convention for his service to AFA and the astrological community. At the turn of the new millennium, as secretary and Board member, Cooper was still actively concerned in working toward the growth and greater acceptance of AFAs aims and objectives. His interest in homeopathic procedures has introduced many members to significant health improvements. He also initiated a number of changes in the format of the conventions, encouraging education and research, and planned and supervised the move of AFA headquarters from Washington DC to Tempe, AZ. Under his guidance, the financial position of AFA improved markedly. Cooper was interested in astrology from the time he was a kid and joined AFA in 1962. For many years he was married to his helpmate, Sarah, until he was widowed on 4/26/1993. He later made a second marriage. He retired from his position as Executive Secretary for the AFA in 2007. He died on August 8, 2008 in Arizona, age 91. Read less
