Recognition Of Love by Greg Morton
Review by Cal Lockert
I would like to bring to the attention of members of the National Senior Men’s Tennis Association a recently published e-book called, “Recognition of Love.” It is the autobiography of Greg Morton, who is an old friend and great ambassador of tennis in the Cleveland area.
Greg, who spent his entire working career as an elementary school teacher, (teaching until retiring in 2010), wrote the book over several years. I found that it gives some good insight into what a person of color had to invest emotionally and financially to succeed in tennis in the 1950s and 1960s.
The author said “Recognition of Love” is the story of my journey through my athletic career in swimming, basketball and tennis. There are many love languages, therefore, sometimes we can take love for granted allowing us to overlook it. Our own pain and lack of expectation can make the love that we are seeking unrecognizable. The love you are looking for always starts with the man/woman in the mirror. Recognize love! Recognize that YOU are enough, YOU have enough, and YOU are love!
I am confident that you will enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
In conclusion, Lockert points out, “As we strive to enhance the tennis experience, for many of us in the post-Medicare group, I think the book is worth calling attention to because of what some of us had to do to get here.
