She was "Peaches"



Remembering a summertime of hitting a tennis ball endlessly against the concrete handball wall at Hamtramck's Veterans Memorial Park.

It was a time when Jean Hoxie and her husband Jerry ran a tennis camp there.

Also, being trounced in a game by a 9 year old (I was 16) Peaches Bartkowicz, and her famous two-handed backhand.


In the day, Tennis Dress Code: White! Please!
