From a fellow teaching pro:
I met your dad September 9, 2012 on my b day and also my first day at Deerwood CC as DoT.
Frank walked up, told me he had an appointment with the former DoT etc
At that moment I had scheduled a lesson with a member who was your dad's age, tennis fanatic and well aware of your father's achievements (on ct). Moving forward in 2015 we built a Wall of Fame of all the greats that had played in the past at a pro event at the Deerwood Country club: Conners, Nastase, BJ King, Arthur Ashe, Margaret Court etc etc and......Frank Froehling. My member and your dad must have stayed in touch because a few months later he received an envelope with a pic (and signature) and a note: "a tough win." We built a nice frame to showcase it and it had a prominent spot on the Wall!!!
After they took the building down my member "rescued " the pics.
Unfortunately member got very ill in 2017 but when we spoke he said: "You never guess who called me yesterday?" Frank Froehling!!! I asked him well....what did he say? He said to get better and get my ass back on court soon haha. (See photo of the signed picture mentioned).
