A brief remembrance of one of our squash community, close and especially meaningful to the long serving and tireless secretary of our board, Harold Helson. Knut Hansen (1964-2021), formerly of Concord Acton Squash Club, is recalled more fully here. If you have a free moment during the holidays you may appreciate his legacy of photography and naturalism in this online gallery.
