Thanks Kew Gardens Tennis Club: A Real Community Club
***Pierre Lamarche aka the Bear spent the last two weeks following the ACE tennis players at the Ontario Provincials at Kew Gardens. Lamarche, a many time former Quebec Provincial Champion, was touched by the ambiance of the tournament and the hospitality of Club President Karen Spisak. He filed the following article.***

First, my sciatic nerve finally settled down [injury from trying to get the Old Bear in shape] and then, I got fried sitting non-stop in the Beaches in Toronto [yes Canada, they have real beaches in Toronto] at the Kew Gardens newly renovated tennis club watching the Ontario Junior Tennis Championships. I had the best seat in the house. I was sitting on the edge of the courts able to watch the matches on the five clay and five hard courts. The experience was memorable not only because the weather was great, or because it was a very well run tournament, but seeing all those kids living a wide range of emotions brought back my own fond memories of playing the Quebec Provincials back in the late 1950′s and early 1960′s.
