"Dare to enter the Wild, Wild West" was the theme for this year's record breaking 8th Annual Pavo Loco Tennis Tournament hosted at the Lexington Tennis Club last weekend, March 18-21. This was a record breaking year for the tournament in terms of funds raised for the Kids Cancer Alliance, and participants with 155 registrations. 100% of the net proceeds from Pavo Loco are donated to the Kids Cancer Alliance. The tournament has generated $80,000 in net proceeds during the last eight years.

I have been playing tennis for four years and had a hiatus for 30 years prior. My father brought back a metal racket from Hong Kong after one Vietnam War tour in 1968 and I was one of the first to play with a non wood racket in northern Virginia.

My favorite league to play is combo, various levels can make for an interesting match.

I look forward to assisting with tournaments and scheduling with the myriad of leagues by TACK.

If I could attend any of the grand slams, I would attend the French. I have not attended a French Open yet.

Japanese Step Tansu because it is old, traditional, and rare - sorta like me, the relic.
