"The first break for me came when the ATA took an
interest in me. Through their tournament circuit and personal involvement,
I gained championship status, and the opportunity to find myself. For their
support throughout the years, I will always be greatful."
"When I started playing in the early 50's, for
many the ATA had the only game in town. Names
like Jimmy McDaniels, George Stewart, Ron Charity, and Althea Gibson were
household names to us followers of the ATA circuit, but of course meant
very little to anyone not intimately connected with our tournaments."
