Blast from the past

My parents were cleaning under the steps and ran across quite a few of my things. This is the tennis racket I used in lessons back in the 1980s. (I never got very good but not for lack of trying.) Compared to current rackets, it weighs a ton! It's all wood. And if you look close at the name under the brand, you'll see "Chris Evert." That dates the racket just a smidge.

Oh yes! I have a bright yellow and green "Miss Chris" racket myself. My brother collects old tennis rackets, and asked if he could have it. I just couldn't part with it.
