Jam Handy

American swimmer and entrepreneur (1886–1983)

Henry Jamison "Jam" Handy was an American Olympic breaststroke swimmer, water polo player, and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the Jam Handy Organization (JHO), a producer of commercially sponsored motion pictures, slidefilms, trade shows, industrial theater and multimedia training aids. Credited as the first person to imagine distance learning, Handy made his first film in 1910 and presided over a company that produced an estimated 7,000 motion pictures and perhaps as many as 100,000 slidefilms before it was dissolved in 1983.
