Rev. Thomas L. Brunkow, who is in his third season in the 70-and-over division, won three of the four United States Tennis Association (USTA) national championships with his partner. Tom writes, “Each year the USTA sponsors a national championship on each of the four surfaces: indoor courts, hard courts, grass courts and clay courts. In 2011 we won the Indoors held in Houston, Grass Courts in Philadelphia and Clay Courts in Pinehurst, N.C. We did not play the Hard Courts in California.” He and his partner are now the topranked team in the United States. Tom says a contributing factor to his success has been the support of his wife, Katherine Ault Brunkow ’64. At one match, Tom enjoyed the support of his classmates, Thomas P. Blake, Robert G. Fox and Gerald P. Sakura. Tom was the keynote speaker at the DePauw 20th Anniversary Celebration of the DePauw Alumni Tennis Association (DATA). (See photo.)
