Here's an interesting mini biography of Eddie and alumnus from Trenton Catholic High School which had an incredible history of turning out sports champions in every sport. I recently heard from a nephew of Eddie, and I hope he returns to this site for future posts relating to his uncle. Eddie probably won't remember "Tommy" Glover and Don Slabicki, who were members of the Kuser Farm Tennis Club back in the late 40's and the 50's. Eddie was "Mr. Nice Guy;" a gentleman through and through.

I ALWAYS WAS INTERESTED IN TENNIS BUT COULD NEVER AFFORD A RAQCKET DURING THOSE DAYS. PAUL NAPOLITANO FROM CHAMBERSBURG WAS ALSO ONE OF THE BETTER PLAYERS THAT MADE GOOD USE OF THE COURTS AT COLUMBUS PARK IN THE 1940S. BEST REGARDS.

- Hi Tom: Paul Napolitano also played tennis at Cadwalader Park Courts off Parkside Avenue.The clay courts were rolled and lined and enjoyed by many of us, including Ed Torres, Russ Backus, Dave Hewitt and Albert Stark. We spent many summer evenings playing in the league. It was great fun
