Professor Gersten Off the Court
You know of Bob Gersten's formidable forehand on the tennis court coupled with his booming voice that's competing with his smashing serve to win a point or two. You can also see him in action in the meeting room where he conducts seminars for the Grove Islanders. In January, Coach Bob reminisced with "Sports Stories Old & New." Professor Gersten organized and moderated presentations in 2004 and so far in 2005 gave us talks by Michael Hughes, MD; Rabbi Sam Kenner; and Jerry Grey, PhD. Bob Gersten graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1942. He was elected President of the Varsity Club, and played varsity baseball and basketball for four years. He received the Patterson Award for Leadership in athletics, character and scholarship. He then received a fellowship to teach physical education and was the Assistant Basketball coach until he left for the Air Force. In the Air Force he was the player coach of the basketball team. He taught and coached at Long Beach High School for twelve years and then moved on to Nassau Community College as founding Dean of Students and professor of health, physical education, and recreation. Bobby has been director/owner of Brant Lake Camp in New York for over 50 years and calls Grove Isle home during the winter with wife Libbie. NASDAQ Fever
The Yo-Yo Sisters are heads over heels … with Andre Agassi at this year's NASDAQ on Key Biscayne. Lining up from left to right and swooning are Susie Conroy, Hetty van de Kreeke, Yuen Swing, Sheila Goodman, Donna Singer and Marlene Reetz.
