How
my student-athlete experience prepared me for where I am today
"I
learned not only about tennis but about life from Coach Hebert and
the tennis greats of that day - the Murphy twins, Cal Sawyer, John
and Charles Shostrom and so on."
My
most memorable moment as a University of Chicago athlete
"I remember winning a doubles match at Madison
against the University of Wisconsin team with my partner, Dick Fein.
I also remember how Coach Derr (U-High athletics) introduced me
to the sport of squash which I learned about in the West Stands
courts where the first chain reaction took place. Squash became
my sport for at least the next 50 years. Competition and camaraderie
which sports brings carries out Harper's goal of a healthy mind
in a healthy body which Stagg represented. In retirement I have
shifted to golf as the sport but the Harper-Stagg standard has been
my goal." |
