[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Question Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:28:43 10/07/24 Mon In the era of "The French Connection" and "The Taking of Pelham 123" I remember seeing tennis great Stan Smith (1972/1973?) moving with the crowd back to the IRT stop at 215th street after the Princeton game. I was impressed, but as a Frosh, or even a Soph, still didn't know much better. Of course, celebrities take the subway! He seemed a genial presence, definitely a head above the crowd, wispy blonde hair, droopy mustache. He must have been accompanying his future wife, Princeton women's tennis captain, Marjory Gengler.

Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:14:31 10/07/24 Mon I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about Ivy sports history. She sounds very accomplished. https://paw.princeton.edu/article/whatever-happened-marjory-gengler-smith-73 And "The Taking of Pelham 123" was an excellent and very underrated film.

Louise was a 3-sport athlete, winner of the von Kienbusch Award as the school's top senior woman athlete, and varsity tennis coach for 25 (?) years. Nancy was individual collegiate squash champion as a sophomore (having learned the game when she started college) and is in College Squash Association Hall of Fame. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
