Feb. 24th: First Tournament of Spring

New Caney Tournament--- Many Locations----I traveled to New Caney and Huffman sites. Got to visit many coaches and players--- Ms. Lang and I enjoyed the track and solving problems of the world today--Mr. Chang and crew were going strong and working well together. They were doing fine---- glad that I came------good memories.

Met Husband for supper at Joe's Crap Shack and then to a play at Lone Star College at Cy Fair. Biloxi Blues was outstanding---Sat. was full of babysitting grand daughters --three---nap and God Daughters Baby Shower--Then to West Columbia to visit with mother in law.

A great weekend-- my friend Marg. and I start walking again in the morning at Willowbrook Mall. Then I need to go the Post Office and mail--again---my pass port stuff------had to redo-------for our trip to Poland in May.

Life is never boring-- I am keeping busy--- but I will always miss my tennis program.
After 40 years of working full time and coaching-------I have a big adjustment to make.

Keep up the good work and take care of Coach Lang and Coach Chang for me.

Love,
Coach L. A. Hrncir

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

MR. CHANG AND MS. LANG ARE DOING A GREAT JOB TAKING OVER THE NORTH FOREST TENNIS TEAM--- I JUST TRY TO HELP OUT WHEN I CAN IN LITTLE WAYS.

THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAS BEEN A BIG ADJUSTMENT-----WITH DRAWING AND LET OTHERS TAKE OVER A PROGRAM THAT I WORKED ON TO MAKE SUCCESSFUL FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.

I HAVE GREAT GOOD MEMORIES.

WAYNE BRYAN STILL SENDS US BOXES OF CLOTHES, SHOES, SOCKS, ETC.

MADE SURE THE TOP 4 GUYS GOT STUFF AND MADE A GOOD IE BAG FOR OTHERS-- TOPS OR TENNIS STUFF--------TENNIS SWEAT BANDS, I LOVE TENNIS TO WEAR AROUND THE NECK--TENNIS PENS--ETC.

WILL BE MAKING A ANOTHER TRIP TO HAND OUT TENNIS CLOTHES FROM THE WAYNE BRYAN FAMILY AT THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.

Sept 30th

It has been a wild few weeks---- the team tennis team is coming together-- Axel Barron has left-- NF was not giving him a contract and he has a child to support-- --

Dorothy Lang was my assistant two years-- now assistant to Mr. Chang-- will work well with the girls as well as the boys-- she knows the tournaments and coaches------------------------------------------------------------

I will continue to work with UIL paperwork and clothes and ice, etc for the rest of the fall season----------I felt so good at GCM the 30th--- Mr. Chang is doing as amazing job-- he stepped up to the plate when no one else would-- and Dorothy Lang was always there-----------------------------------------------------------------------a rock.

I am going to back off more---they have it together-----------------------------------------I retired-- just did not want my program to vanish

They do not need me to follow them-----I have had my time in the sun-- it is their time in the sun.

We, all coaches, will go to Newks the first week of December--we will pay our own way--- hope to give I. Dutchover of Galena Park the Loretta Ann Hrncir Dedication Award. Such a fine--talent young man who is there for the kids.

It is Sat. morning and I realize that I worry too much at times---- have to back off more---- Husband and I are going to Galveston Sun and Mon. for our 41st Wedding Anniversary----------------------------------------------the time does fly.

Tennis Rocks!

Today is Sept 16: Alot has happened in a month

It was not until Sept 6th --when my tennis players did not show up at GCM---that I learned that there was no coach--no tennis coach--after my years of growth and hard work

Needless to say Mr. Chang and Mr. Barron stepped up to the plate and took over-- I gave Mr. Chang many books and videos to use---he is learning-- and Axel Barron---an ex student-- he is the assistant---- only because he does not have a degree.

I am taking care of UIL paperwork, physicals, issue uniforms and shoes, meeting deadlines--rescheduled GCM matches to Sept 30

The new coaches are trying--they just need to be firmer and not let the kids pull them apart--- no good cop--bad cop-- I did call the kids that went to the Davis Cup with me-----Worked with these folks--- don't let this program die------ I did not leave you---- I retired-- still helping and still planning on River Oaks and Davis Cup stuff---I think positive.

PLEASE WORK WITH THE NEW COACHES AND PRACTICE-- DO NOT GIVE EXCUSES--DO NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS--- YOU ARE LEADERS ON OUR CAMPUS.

LOVE, COACH HRNCIR

Tomorrow is Aug. 22nd-- First Day of School

Wish everyone a great school year and a super tennis season.

I worked for about 5 hrs. Friday morning at the Library-- Helping Ms. Cover son and Ms. Williamson---helping teachers--visiting-- putting up 6 bulletin Boards of FUN TENNIS STUFF FROM THE DAVIS CUP IN JULY.

Rita's collage was framed and went to the Admin. Building in July.

These are my best-- had so much to work with-- a great adventure and quest.

After teaching swimming for 6 weeks--went to San Antonio with college friend, Marg. Brown--then to DC with 9 yrs. old grand child to visit youngest son and his wife, Kelly---we had a great time and I feel like a walking machine.

Dr. gave me lots of exercises to do for my back----keeping busy---

Went to Taste of Texas tonight--celebrate 40 yrs-- an I do not report to work tomorrow-- praying for all the teachers, students and staff--- WE WANT NORTH FOREST ISD. TO BE STRONG AND NOT BE CLOSED-----

THIS YEAR WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

DO YOUR BEST EVERY DAY.

LOVE, COACH HRNCIR
