Cooper, Fred

The sudden passing of Fred Cooper, head of the Eldora Training School, leaves a gap in a situation that was improving far more rapidly than any one had a right to expect.  Cooper, former Fort Dodge athletic director, moved in on the Eldora ‘hot seat” shortly after the famous “Eldora case” when one of the inmates lost his life.  Cooper  quickly acquired the confidence of the public.  What is less known is, that he had also acquired the confidence of the boys in the school.  And that wasn’t easy!  Undoubtedly a casualty of the heavy physical and mental load he carried,  Fred Cooper has given his life in the public service. Few key figures would be more greatly missed.
