HI TREVOR – glad to see the Cate girls doing so well…..and you have to take a bow for the success Janine has had at Grove City – especially since she’d hardly played doubles till you coached her – and she and her partner won the 3rd doubles championship at the Erie tournament – she’s one happy college kid with lots of friends and great success in her first year of collegiate tennis – partly due to your coaching we’re sure!!! love, grandma and grandpa
