Jonathan Grubb ~ Pilates historian & Camp Knockaloe descendant
Manage episode 343030713 series 2935727
Jonathan Grubb, Pilates historian appeared on my show for the first time a couple of years ago. He talked about his history based Facebook page, called, “Joseph’s Legacy - Pilates 100 + which at the time had already attracted five thousand followers.
Jonathan has lived almost his entire life on the Isle of Man which is a small island in the Irish Sea off the coast of Great Britain. He was introduced to the Pilates Method in 2013, but he had no idea at the time how his life would intersect with Joe Pilates. When Jonathan and I first talked, you may remember that he told us of his amazement at discovering that the man whose method he was studying, had been interned on the Isle of Man at Camp Knockaloe, the largest internment camp during World War One. And to his utter surprise, he also learned that his own great-grandfather, Jakob Grubb was not only another internee at Camp Knockaloe, but unbelievably, imprisoned in the same sub camp as Joe. From that point on, a flurry of research about Joe and the lives he touched ensued and to this day, continues.
Jonathan’s Facebook page now has almost fifteen thousand followers who are transfixed by his on-going discoveries. With his honorable reputation, he’s been given access to archival material and shares these items on his page. One example, is an inquiry letter from Joe Pilates to Anna Shaffer, a guest on this show, who studied with him for nearly sixtenn years. So, my faithful listeners, get comfortable and sit back as you listen to Jonathan’s story and you’ll even be hearing for the first time, new information he has yet to make public.
