Observations by E.C.

By Eugene St. Martin JR.

This book is a continuation of E. C.s journey in life. It is about the observations and reflections made as E.C. goes about his life to church, to work, to teach, to play, and to visit friends. In particular this book explores playing, learning, and the teaching of the game of tennis.
E.C. believes each person has a tennis stroke inside him or her. He keeps working and playing to find ways that we can set the stage so the good shots in us can come out how to get the shots in us out. And at the end of the day may we remember our good shots.
