Our Hungarian friend, Imre Glied, died 2 years ago from lung cancer though he had never smoked cigarettes. He was a good husband, father, doctor, friend, and tennis player. He played a very strong game of doubles with his long-time partner, Laszlo Bota. His first meeting was in Finland in 1994. I remember a hard-fought battle between these two Hungarians and 2 Swedish players, Staffan Eden and Lars Hagberg. In 1999, Imre, his wife, Katya, and other Hungarian friends visited us in Nebraska after the Fort Worth, Texas, USA meeting. We played a lot of tennis in Omaha; Imre’s cross-court-sliced-backhand was impossible to get. It’s a shame that he is gone from us. Sincerely, Jim Manion
