This is what an 88 yr. old avid tennis fan from Philly had to say about Andre: ". . .He is a Great Man and a Great Soul who used his talent to compete in and to teach and to raise the level of the game he loved. Then he gave it all back again. He used his monetary awards to give children a chance to follow their dreams and contribute their own talents. . ." --PJ
