Jean Harker along with daughter Jeanie and Grandson Adham came to Forest Hall's official opening Saturday June 8, 2013 and shared her wonderful tennis stories.
Jean showed us a photo of herself and husband (Eric) stood on the same site in 1954! Her husband worked on the grounds at Wimbledon. Lump in our throats listening to her wonderful story of years gone by.
Jean got on court and tried out the new facility and loved it. Take a look at the video here of Jean and Adham playing on the courts....bit different from the grass courts that once graced the site 59 years ago.
Absolute proof that tennis truly is a lifelong sport that brings families together and creates long lasting memories that can be shared forever.
