About The Author Jack Eggmann
He has written numerous articles on tennis and been interviewed for other articles.
He is uniquely positioned in the history of modern tennis, having acquired his father’s-era flavor as well as that of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, his own era. He played with, knew, observed, or was acquainted with the Buchholz brothers (Butch and Cliff), the McKinley brothers (Chuck and Bob), the Parkers (Jim and Larry), the Connors (John and Jimmy), the Flachs (Ken and Doug), Rod Susman and his wife Karen Hantze (Wimbleton champion), and such other top women players as Carol Hanks Aucamp, Justina Bricka, Mary Ann Eisel Beattie, and Renee Blount. Coaches and pros in Mr. Eggmann’s experience include Earl Buchholz Sr., Alan Carvell, Ed Faulkner, Larry Miller, Bill Price, and Al Rothschild.
Mr. Eggmann helped resurrect and run the award-winning JAYCEE tennis program for children at Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, in the late 1960's-1970's. Many of the above-named famous players helped in this venture. He also has been left large collections of tennis history.
