Long before I gained an appreciation for many of the idol’s I would come to know, Mr. Ashe was the 1st. The cool demeanor, incredible presence and ultimate grace, what a gentleman.  Mr. Ashe was more than an incredible tennis giant, he was a great man. Below please find a great instructional video from my youth, this is how I learned the alphabet.  Do Idols still do this type of thing?

Note: Pay attention to the awesome outfit.
