There are some very familiar faces behind the scenes that make an event like this so successful. I found Tom and Jeanne Gearhart at the announcers station again this year.
Volunteers come and go at registration desks, scheduling events, etc.
Rosemary Reese is another truly devoted member.
Nice looking medals for the winners.
Tom Gottfried and Gary Jackson spent many hours behind the lens of the cameras taking action shots and photos of the smiling winners. It's not just taking a quick photo.....but also the additional hours of editing and reviewing each picture.
Palm Creek does a fantastic job of watching over the players in case of injury. Marg Ouimet and her staff spend many hours patrolling the courts and being available for the inevitable injuries during intense tournament play and practice.
We should count Marg among the injured as she nurses a nasty bee sting on her face.
The local EMT professionals made several visits to the park.
Casa Grande is lucky to have such good medical support.
