About The Author Jack Eggmann
Jack Eggmann is a 1962 graduate of Washington University in St. Louis , where he played on their fine mens’ tennis teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s all four years. His father, Teddy, was quite well known in the 1920s and 1930s, winning numerous titles at the local, sectional, and collegiate levels in both singles and doubles. Teddy captained the top Cornell tennis teams of 1926 and 1927 under the famous Davis Cup coach and Germantown Cricket Club (Philadelphia) pro, Ed Faulkner, where he helped launch the first indoor Intercollegiate tournament on a national scale (Larned Cup) on the lightning-fast hardwood armory floors. He was also the protege and principal doubles partner of legendary Wray D. Brown, the only man to crack the first 10 in U.S. mens singles rankings in the St. Louis district between the early 1900s of Dwight Davis and late 1950s of Butch Buchholz.
Mr. Eggmann has been the Archivist for the St Louis Tennis Hall of Fame, where he has served on its selection committee, since its inception. He is also a member of the selection committee for the USTA-Missouri Valley section.
