Dec. 22nd 2011

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.

THEY HAVE TWO TOURNAMENTS--- LOOKING FOR MORE.( NORTH FOREST)

I HAVE BEEN READING, WORKING IN MY GARDENS, TRYING TO GET THIS OLD HOUSE IN LIVABLE CONDITION. WE HAD WORK DONE OVER THREE YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS AT A BARBERS HILL TOURNAMENT IN THE FALL--------------------------PIPE BROKE IN THE BACK YARD AND FLOODED THE DOWN STAIRS AREAS--HUSBAND TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT REPAIR----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOW WITH THE KIDS COMING HOME------- TWO LEAKS IN CEILING-- A SHOWER AND SINK THAT HAS NOT WORKED IN MANY YEARS----------------------------------------------WE FOUND A GOOD PLUMBER--FEMALE , LIZ-----RECOMMENDED BY OUR BANKER--SON IN LAW TAI HAN----------------------------------------------------------------------THEY START NEXT WEEK--- FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE UP COMING REPAIRS BEING DONE BY PROFESSIONALS.

WE JUST CANNOT DO WHAT WE USE TO BE ABLE TO DO IN OUR YOUNGER YEARS--WHILE WORKING FULL TIME AND RAISING THREE KIDS.

HUSBAND STARTS TEACHING AT LONE STAR COLLEGE IN JAN. AND I PLAN TO USE THE WORKOUT ROOM AND WALK ALOT.

KNOW THAT I NEED TO MOVE MORE----GETTING TOO SLOW TOO FAST.

I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS AND PLAN TO VIEW A FEW MATCHES---KNOW THE LA SHAUN AND JONATHAN ARE PLANNING ON GOING TO REGIONAL AND STATE THIS YEAR----KNOW THAT THEY WILL GET GREAT SCHOLARSHIPS.

STILL GO ON TRIPS WITH RETIRED FRIENDS--A TRAIN RIDE IS PLANNED FOR SPRING BREAK--AND POLAND THE END OF MAY--GRAND DAUGHTER FINISHES HIGH SCHOOL AND HEADS FOR COLLEGE.

LIFE IS NEVER BORING.

LOVE,

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

Aug. 5th; TOOK A LARGE PICTURE FRAME TO

ADMINISTRATION TO DISPLAY---- Rita, my high school tennis partner at Jeff Davis in the 60's was our guide in Austin for the Davis Cup-------we were blessed to have her-- figured out where to park our big bus for free--knew all the shorts cuts and got us in contact with Mike Center--the UT Tennis Coach-- Jae, #1 in 2011 North Forest Class, is going to UT-- and with band and baseball---he still wants to try to play tennis.

Rita ordered and donated the collage---to us----- I took it to Hobby Lobby to have it framed---- folks are great--- helped me pick out the perfect frame to match the trim-----

Took it to Supt and staff-- and they were very impressed------so proud of our great adventure.
( Had already mailed them photos that I took---- just like I mailed to each person who attended our quest in Austin)

After they finish with it--- will take it to our school library. In the mean time I am working on photos for six bulletin boards for North Forest's Library.

Want to finish before I leave for DC next week-- Lien , 9 year old grand daughter, and I are going for a week to visit our youngest son, Sean, a marine stationed in Maryland and DC. His sweet bride, Kelly will show us around and keep us busy.

I have enjoyed the freedom of not going back to work----but after 40 years---- it still hurts a little---- husband says that I am getting use to not getting up at 4:30 a.m. in the morning-------but, I stay up later---- it is 2:30 a.,,m and I head to West Columbia tomorrow to visit my mother in law------ only Mom that we still have to love on--- we hit the hot spots, Dillard's and Big Lots.

Stay safe---- we usually practice a week before school starts------ need to check with Athletics? School does start Aug. 22nd.

We are praying that we do not have to be combined with HISD--- NFISD is a good district---- just so much mess in the past-------------------------pulling together--- parents and the community standing up----we do not want to be dis solved after over 50 years of being a independent school district.

Think Positive.

e mail me-- I will miss all of you. lahrncir@hotmail.com
You will always be a new success in my book.
Love, Coach
