Newport, Rhode Island, July 26, 2003: The National Tennis Club once again hosts The Lieb Cup, deciding the national juniors champions in three levels.
All the usual suspects are in the line-up, er, draw, plus a couple of new faces. A group (mug) shot was taken at a secured and undisclosed location just moments ago … if you should see any of these individuals, approach with extreme caution. (Dick Poholek, where are your digital photos!?).
Left to right, back row: Jen Winthrop, Mary Livingston, Nick Mazuroski, Liz Kavney, Chillie Bernstein, Hugh Billington, Alex White. Middle row: John Paul Jewell, Nick Hoagland, Cece Keefe, Kimmi Keefe, Pat Winthrop, Tom Picken. Seated in front: Dave Hampton, Pro Rich Smith, Pro Josh Bainton, and Phoebe Livingston. Currently at large: Frank Curren, Dylan Aldrich, Jeff Clooney.
