Dear Sir,

Many years ago when I was tennis pro at Pink Beach Club, Allan Simmons came by to hit some tennis balls with me. He did this occasionally.

On this particular day, after Allan left, a guest came by and said he had enjoyed watching the fluid way Allan hit the ball. This guest was the late Alistair Cooke who at that time was the host of the TV series Masterpiece Theatre. RIP Allan.
