Binkie and SAS were mainstays at the TLTC and around the junior tennis tournaments. Binkie with her gravelly voice and intimidating stare used to scare me a little when I was younger, then Candy told me one day at the Lawn, "Oh don´t mind her, she´s just like that so no one will bother her." And from that day on I always said hi to her and tried to "bother" her on purpose to get her to talk to me and maybe make her laugh. It worked and I got to hear that funny cackle-laugh she had (that Lise shares) and she became far from `scary´ to me.
Hope you are at peace Benita. Thoughts to you both and your families, Candy & Lise.
xoxo `Beave´
