I have known Jack since I began playing in the Westchester Platform Tennis League about 15 years ago.  About 10 years ago Jack approached me to help him contact all the league captains, twice a year I would print out mailing tables for him so he wouldn't have to hand write all the envelopes.  Soon the fax machine replaced mailing and Jack was quick to adopt the new technology.  In 1999 I proposed to Jack that we could stop all the personal correspondence and put the league online.  I purchased the domain paddlepro.com and put together a simple site for the players to view their schedules and results, paddlepro.com was a big hit in New York. The Westchester Platform Tennis League and paddlepro.com grew at a terrific pace over the following years.  Jack and I have worked closely over the last 4 years running the WPTL together, I admire Jack for never being afraid to try something new. Westchester Platform Tennis players may remember him when they take the court on Tuesday nights - The rest of the country's platform tennis players can thank Jack for encouraging paddlepro.com to grow.
