Meet new Tennis Club members Mary Green and Manny Juarez who moved into Hermosa about 3 weeks ago. This tennis couple have been together for 25 years. They met playing tennis at Cuesta Park in Mountain View.
Mary retired in 2016 from working at Stanford University. Her final position at Stanford was working in their Graduate School Business Department working with data. Manny also retired in 2016 from Agilent, and they decided to move to Arizona for their retirement. They built a lovely home and spent 3 years in Arizona, but eventually found it too hot and they missed the bay area weather, their friends and familiar surroundings.
Therefore in 2019 they moved back to the bay area, first renting and then buying a condo in Sunnyvale. Next came the opportunity to buy a condo in Hermosa, first doing a little remodeling, but finally moving into the villages about 3 weeks ago. They are currently emptying boxes in their garage and trying to sell their condo in Sunnyvale.
Mary is ready to get back on the courts and I suggested Brett’s Thursday clinic at 10:30. In her tennis past, she played for several different USTA teams in the Southbay, but mainly for Cupertino. Manny does not play much tennis anymore due to an aging slow-down, but I assured him he would fit right in with the rest of us slower tennis players and advised trying the Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday drop-in.
Please say hi to Mary and Manny when you see them around the courts.
