I brought the kids snacks, water and fruit during the year--- my last day with them was the first of April-- District play offs-- I left in a rush--due to a sick grand child.
Thankful that the kids finished their year -- had an Athletic Banquet-- and some still keep in touch. Johnathan's Mom sent me graduation tickets--but, I was in Poland for ten days. Very thankful for the act of kindness
After a year of going back and forth--- I am pulling away----I had my 40 years-- have to let the next people carry on. Always will be a special place in my heart for North Forest Tennis.
I am left with many great memories and experiences--especially with the involvement of the Wayne Bryan Family during the last 12 years. I have been very blessed.
Started teaching Swimming for Klein June 11th---never a dull moment. Every day is new and full of joy and heart ache. Every day is a good challenge.
Kirbi and Marg Brown are my helpers---could not survive without them.
Gardens are doing great-- and I am reading alot and resting-- love the naps after swimming classes.
I am thankful for each day.
Thanks for your support over the years.
Love, Coach Hrncir

March 27th: I have been to all of the tournaments.
I try not to get in the way--- I am not in charge. Mr. Chang and Ms. D. Lang are doing a great job. I try to bring snacks, fruit and water when needed. Sometime Ms. Lang and I just walk the track.
Last week in Splendor Tournament , I stayed 5 hrs. and D. Lang and drove around to the different locations--- I enjoyed the adventure-- even if we got lost more than once.
EVERYONE IS DOING A GREAT JOB AND GIVING THEIR BEST.
PLAN to go to Bay Town tournament Friday and district next week.
I have been walking the Willow brook Mall every morning 3 to 4 miles----feel like I am getting stronger----massage today--TSU tomorrow-- Also, ordered shirts for River Oaks today--every day there is something to do.
Sun and Mon. I worked the TRTA Convention at the Westin at the Galleria---I am getting much better traveling to and from and parking and finding my car again.
Marg. and I had a good time together Monday--------------------enjoyed workshops and company of alot of older folks who don't want retirement benefits changed. We have a battle ahead.
District is next week and Bob and Mike come to town the following week.
I am so busy-- didn't know how I had time to work 50 to 60 hrs. a week for so long.
Past my bed time.
AGAIN, THANK YOU MR. CHANG AND MS. LANG FOR LOVING MY TENNIS KIDS.

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.

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
