The Annual Meeting in Indian Wells was outstanding. We attended the prestigious BNP Paribas tournament, also known as the 5th Grand Slam tournament. Wesley Jackson's collection was truly impressive. We learned about the rich history of the Mission Hills Country Club from tennis pro emeritus Tommy Tucker and enjoyed playing on their picturesque grass courts, followed by a sumptuous meal. Jack Frost entertained us with anecdotes about his time on the tour. John Carpenter delivered an insightful historical analysis of the open stance forehand. ITHF Hall of Famer Charlie Pasarell and Joel Drucker engaged in a discussion about their upcoming book, "Serving First", slated for release in June. We visited and played tennis at the historic La Quinta Resort and Club, followed by a closing dinner.
