Letter from Charlie Hurme [honored at our Nov 2005 Dinner Dance]:

November 15, 2005

I wish to thank the NTC for making my 93rd birthday a memorable event, on November 5th at the Northport Yacht Club.

The clock memento and my obituary inscribed therein is most flattering and I can't believe I did not compose it myself. Have enjoyed my 44 years as a member and treasure most pleasant memories of past and present associations with the wonderful members.

It would be nice to be 90 again. At that age I could play volleyball, windsurf, drive at night and balance my checkbook, and win a National singles tennis tournament. This year I had to settle for a doubles National -- if you can't lick 'em, join 'em -- is a good adage.

I plan to continue playing and hope that the members can put up with my drop shots, underhand serve, reverse spinlobs and bad line calls.

Sincerely,

Charlie Hurme
Huntington Town Elder
