Some Opponnents on the Courts  of the Past

I remember playing Bill Maki. Mackey?  Childhood chum of Pete Wilhoit, who now drums for Plane Fiction. Or Piain Fiction? Maybe I played a bit with Pete, too? And some other Bryan Park buddies, like Jake Smith...yeah...

Is that how you spell his name? 10 year participant of the Bloomington rock group "the Cutters".

We played once or twice at Bryan Park.

As a child, I would play against my sisters and Jenny and Monique. And my farther a few select evenings.

I had some good games in the late nineties with Chad Card, and my doubles partener Paul Schumann.  We won a few games. That was back in Indiana.

I played my wife in West LA at the city park...And against my neighbor, the UCLA med student Kevin Kunz. Kevin? He was good. He would whip me.

I played some games with my uncle Bill and my cousins in Massachusetts, out in Cape Cod.

And down in Inglewood, Florida I had tremendous doubles matches with the old gys down there. That was back in the eighties. 20th century. Those guys were so old they are probably not around now.

Did I ever play my buddies in Ashburn, Virginia? Only table tennis, but that was fun. I need to get on the tennis court with them...

High school had some matches...Mostly forgettble.

I played Elder David Newton down in Santa Juana, Chile.

I think I played a few times in Utah...

Not too often, really.

But overall...

Oh, yes! San Bernardino and Redlands! Fun matches against Mitch Hayden and the young science teacher...And the tennis coach who was fired...

Did I play young David? My student assistant?

Maybe, maybe not. He was a whiner.

But those were good times in the early 2000s...

Good times on the tennis courts.

I hope to make it back some day.

Work on my serve. And net game.

I know I am forgetting a few more...
