Though less than a week of camp was left on our calendar, there was still much to do at Lenore. Color War for the Seniors was at a feverish pitch, and today's Tennis Doubles Match demonstrated just how fairly matched the teams were, and how exciting it was to watch. The two team captains were once again pitted against each other, and this was an opportunity for Ronnie Durchlag to exact some payback for her singles defeat...
Diane Lerner, daughter of owner, Zulie Lerner, penned this entry to the '59 Lenorlog:
"Thursday, the 20th of August was the date set for the senior tennis doubles. The skilled finalists were Bobbie Rosenheim and Laurie Jackson for the greens, and Alice Shapiro and Ronnie Durchlag for the White team as their competitors.
The match resembled a tense drama in three sets. Each point was a battle and many of the the games went t deuce.
The first set was won by the White Tea with a score of 8 to 6. The second and third sets were won by the Greens with scores of 806 and 6-4. The officials and spectators agreed that this was one of the most supense-filled and breathtaking doubles match that had been seen in a long time."

Remember the final tennis match in 1966 or 67, between Clare Arkoff and Robin Nesser, still two of my close friends, it was such a close match and even though I was Captain I felt mixed no matter who won. They were both such great sportswomen
