I am sure some of you will remember Jane Brown Grimes, a delightful woman who used to live in Chadds Ford and was a regular at the Kennett Y. Now based in Manhattan, Jane is being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I., on July 12. She used to serve as the group's president and has spent a great deal of her life devoted to the sport. I still always look for her in "the good seats" when watching the U.S. Open or Wimbledon tournaments on TV.
Others being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year are Lindsay Davenport, Nick Bollettiere, John Barrett, and Chantal Vandierendonck.
Jane was also in the news back in 2011 when her son, Ames Brown, was a contestant on the TV show "The Bachelorette." Jane appeared in an episode in which Ames took Ashley, the bachelorette, to his family's Chadds Ford home to meet his relatives.
