Ah, San Diego. What a great place for a tournament: very nice gym, a lot of parking, good weather, nice folks. What's there not to like about San Diego. I have a love hate relationship with the Balboa Park Activity Center. As a player, the Balboa Park Activity Center is the best there is. As a photographer, the indoor lighting is inadequate.. Plus the presence of natural skews the digital sensor when using automatic white balance. I had to keep adjusting the white balance all day to get the proper skin color. It's like going to your mother in law. You like it because food is great. You hate it because you feel better without her presence. |

Fred Martin was a big man. Fred also had a big heart. This tournament was all about Fred and keeping alive his memory among us table tennis players. There was a table in the entry way set up with numerous photographs of Fred and some of the medals he won at the Fireman's Olympics. Fred was a long time member of the Long Beach Table Tennis Club. |

Tournaments held at the Santa Monica City College have been a fixture in the Southern California table tennis scene. I remember going to these tournaments in the mid 90's. I recall watching several promising young players like Edward Chang and MinHee Hwang, Shelley and Stacey Lee. I dont think these few I mentioned are active in table tennis, though I've heard several occassions MinHee took up golfing. Stacey is a famous model up in the Bay Area. |
