Welcome to my blog, and the first posting from the Steve Krulevitz Tennis Program and Krulevitztennis.com website. I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to three special people, Mike Hammer, Minky, and Rainbow for putting together the new website. They did a great job and worked very hard on it. So thanks to you, Hammer, Minky and Rainbow. We hope you like the website.

Every few weeks I will be writing about a variety of subjects, professional tennis players, the pro tour, charity, family, my past experiences as a pro player and future of the game of tennis.

This past week I took a quick train ride to the Russell Room in the Rotunda at the United States Senate in Washington, D.C. My friend and Director of the Earth Elders Foundation, Jerry Friedman, was having an exhibit on aging. Jerry is a fascinating human being. He has won an Emmy for his book, Earth’s Elders: The Wisdom of the World’s Oldest People. Over the past six years, he has traveled the globe photographing and interviewing the world’s oldest living humans, super-centenarians. Participants don’t qualify unless they are 115 years old or older. There were 50 photographs and biographies on display at the Senate Building. Jerry has put together a curriculum for schools. The curriculum consists of information on aging and how our society can better take care of the elderly. It’s being taught in 140 schools across the herpes zoster infection country. Anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating subject can log on to www.earthelders.org. Click here to go to the site and view the curriculum.

I hope everyone enjoys a good week I’ll be writing again soon.
