Comments from Theresa Rodgers:

Dear, Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation,
I am truly honored to have been awarded the Jeff Cooper Gunsite 250 Scholarship, which allowed me to attend the renowned Gunsite Academy 250 course. This experience has been transformative, both personally and professionally.
Over the course of the class, I honed my marksmanship skills and learned invaluable techniques in defensive shooting, all while being immersed in the legacy of Jeff Cooper. The instructors were exceptionally knowledgeable, fostering an environment that emphasized safety, skill, and confidence.
The camaraderie among fellow students was inspiring, as we all shared a passion for responsible firearms usage and personal protection. I left Gunsite not only with improved skills but also with a deeper appreciation for the principles of firearms safety and responsibility.
This scholarship has opened doors for me, and I am committed to sharing the knowledge and skills I gained with my community. Thank you to the Jeff Cooper Foundation for this incredible opportunity; it has truly been a life-changing experience!
Thank you,
Theresa

If you were fortunate enough to meet Janelle Cooper, you will know that this statement about her from The Guru, is true: “Jane Ellen Marks Cooper, my bride of 60 years.  I have lightly termed her “The Countess”, as that is the only title I may apply to the consort of a “Guru”. The Countess is the only person I have ever encountered, either in person or by reputation, who is without flaw.  Life has handed her its full share of tribulation, fulfillment, and adventure, and she has met each successive year with unmatched wisdom, courage, and pleasure – in equal measure.  The Countess is one of God’s best handworks.  I must have led a truly exemplary life in my previous incarnation if I deserve her in this one”
