Excellent! Good for Michelle and the rest of the Hall of Famers! Congrats! Woo Hoo!!!

Todd Davis is the man.

She is an inspiration to me.........and a wonderful role model to the young women she coaches. I look forward to being with her tomorrow evening and a night she is truly worthy of. PD

I felt Clive's presence in the room and he was fondly remember as having such a positive impact on these two young athletes lives............not so as much as players( which goes without saying) but forming them as human beings!!!!!!!!

BTW, LaPlante is on my Sr (50+) USTA 4.0 men's team that competed in the OR/WA sectionals in Sun River this weekend.

Tough luck for your team in the event.

Too bad our toughest match was Thursday, when one of our better players had some banquet to attend back in Portland

Very cool. I had no idea of Yari's connections to Mexico. Very cool to read about that on Wikipedia.
