He is a secretary that notes his reflections as he goes about his life. He keeps exploring ways to play and to learn the game of tennis.

I thank all the people in my life that have helped me. I particularly thank my family, friends, my fellow workers, and my students. I thank all my teachers in my life… the ones before and present. I thank the workers at iUniverse and the workers at Fed-Ex. I tank Bob for his encouragement. I thank John Bowman for his life of service to our community. And I thank God.
