What an impressive weekend. After meeting all of Dan's family it is clear that he was blessed with a strong supporting cast. Many special moments helped remind us that Dan will be with us forever. One moment that I was glad to be a part of was the Celebration of Dan's innovative teaching games that was held at SFE in Essex. Over 30 tennis players from ages 5-18 attended! One Tennis Pro came as far as Boston to help facilitate this event. The event started with a tribute to Dan's attention to the most finite detail of making sure each shoelace was tied. We then took a minute to observe the four court Tennis Center with a suspended running track that Dan helped create! It was at this moment I realized that we were living out Dan's Dream of Growing the Game. Over the next three hours each participant experienced the many games that Dan designed and implemented to help take each one of them to the next level. I left those courts feeling honored to have been a part of a community event in Dan's name. I am sure it will not be the last.
Thanks to all who were able to attend and or lend their support,
