Nice lunch---everyone stood and clapped ---plaque's-- kind words and gifts from administration & staff-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hard to walk away-- but I promised to help out and to continue to get used balls & used rackets------------------------------------------kids made it all a great quest---------------------40 years have flown by-------------------it is time.
The following was a face book-- from my husband and my high school doubles tennis friend, Rita Maldonado Hanson-- semi retired--counselor from Austin ISD
FINAL COUNTDOWN: FOR LORETTA ANN BLALOCK HRNCIR If you have given 40 years of your life to over 10,000 students,inspired and motivated them, fed, clothed, transported, furnished homes, and taken into your OWN home those in need, prevented arrests and suicides, and treated all as your own family, YOU ARE ready to retire from teaching! ( Husband Robert)
Rita added: If you have found volunteers and mentors to assist your program, written and received grants to supplement a non existence budget for your program, recruited professional sponsors-- Wayne Bryan Family-- traveled all over the United States and Europe to attend Davis Cups, always with students in tow, advocated for students with disabilities and kept the motivational climate up on your campus, you have EARNED RETIREMENT! (Rita Hanson)
PS. Let us not forget the great adventures over the years at Westside Tennis Center & River Oaks Country Club.
I have been very blessed to have great folks in my life.
Love Always, Loretta Ann Hrncir
