2008 - Eighth ANNUAL DAVID DUKES
INVITATIONAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT
briefly — we were all very happy...our efforts, spearheaded by albrezzi, to include more ceremony and more specific remembrance of David energized us all. We had an excellent turn out. The top "David" category winner was Aris Hovsepian— a wonderful player with a wonderful Dukesian spirit who has become a regular...The "David" Runner up was our own – long deserving Richard Gurman. The "Dukes" category winner was Wilson Fitzgerald, a first timer and possibly the oldest player in the draw. The runner up was John Bauman...also a newby.
The Dukes goes on!
