With One Year In The Books, Many To Thank
by Ted Gross, publisher

May 1, 2012

Cranking out a daily online squash newspaper for the past 365 days that is hopefully relevant and entertaining has been a lot of work, I'll say it upfront.

But it has been immensely rewarding.

Thanks first to contributing editor Rob Dinerman - I wouldn't do this with anyone else.

Thanks to John Musto, Guy Cipriano, Joyce Davenport, Hunt Richardson and Jack Herrick for their suggestions and input from day one.

Thanks to contributors Brett Erasmus, Will Gens, Mick Joint, The Squashist, Tracy J. Gates and Bob Hanscom for their highly entertaining writing.

Thanks to the US Squash staff, and to Squash Canada's Danny Da Costa.

Thanks to US national coaches Jack Wyant, Natalie Grainger, Paul Assaiante and Chris Walker for making sure we've always gotten the reports we've needed.

Similar thanks to Canadian national coaches Yvon Provencal and Jessica DiMauro.

Thanks to the hard-working Michael and Anne Bello of the CSA.

Thanks to sponsors Dave Foley of Foley Squash Shop, David Carr of McWil Courtwall, Bob Morgan of Black Knight, Dana Thayer of Chelsea Piers, Pamela Saunders of Elm City Squash and Stuart le Gassick.

Thanks to Steve Cubbins of SquashsiteUK for his generosity and brilliant live coverage of the major events.

Special thanks to Bryan Patterson for his 34 consecutive days of engaging reports from campgrounds across the US, while leading last summer's CitySquash coast-to-coast bicycle ride.

And finally, thank you to the great Howard Harding - Howard, I said it in the beginning, and I'll say it again: You are the straw that stirs the drink.
