"Live Fire" in Waco--A Great Success!

The "Live Fire" officials training at Baylor University was held this past weekend in conjunction with a major ITA men's tournament at the site--and it was a rousing success! Here are the officials who participated in the training:

Rick Gabel (Austin)
Ron Salazar (Denver)
Mary Lynn Satur (DFW)
John Garza (San Antonio)
Denise Offerdahl (Austin)
Chuck Emerich (Houston)
Gayle Land (San Antonio)
Ron Whitson (DFW)
Ray Perme (San Antonio)

All of these officials did a fantastic job in their training--and now they're ready to go out and work everywhere...

A special thanks to Baylor University and their coach, Matt Knoll, for hosting the training. Its great when you see a major university commit to helping the cause of tennis officiating.

So it's true. I guess you two will be traveling the ITA circuit just like the other officiating couple who's traveling the ITF circuit.

We discussed that but decided to live separately.

And who might that couple be?
