Rotary Fellowship Aces First Tennis Championship Held in the US
Eugene McNease had competed in world championship tournaments of the International Tennis Fellowship of Rotarians in such illustrious cities as Vienna; Barcelona, Spain; and Salerno, Italy. So he felt a bit brash when he proposed that the first one in the United States be held in Thomasville, Ga., population 18,700. But the retired Social Security Administration executive and self-appointed ambassador for Rotary loves the charm of his historic home town, and he was convinced the friends he had made in the fellowship would appreciate the city as he does and enjoy its Southern hospitality.
