He never weighed more or less- every day Henri would check his weight every day and never leave the club until the magic number was met- he represented the University Club and much more- good bye, Henri - Richard Nemrow

It was my good fortune to have met and then be shown some basics of squash by a master like h.s. It was in the late 50 s.
I was never able to come close to winning a game, even when he played lefty, but it was treat to try.
The game like so many other things may have changed, but not his record of accomplishment. That will stand the test of time.
He was truly one of a kind.
