Robert W. McKean

Rob, you had that amazing ability to just flick your racquet in a most off-hand manner and then we'd all watch the ball sail or whiz past us, a sure winner. Then that grin would come across your face and the world would seem a bit sunnier for a moment. Between points or after the game, we'd stand around and yak, there at Dix Park, and our conversations were always punctuated by your whole-self laughter. You brought the fun along with the shot-making and the excellent team-mating, and we will always cherish those years and years and years with you. With love to you and your family from all of your tennis buds and me, Andy Calkins.
