Gail Falkenberg - Tennis Story
Hello Stone Creek Family, I wanted to share something truly special that many of you may have missed on national TV today. While watching the Serena Williams vs. Maya Joint match, I noticed something amazing — and I couldn’t wait to tell you all. Right after the match ended, Maya finished her post‑match interview and the broadcast cut to a commercial featuring tennis greats from past and present. As the montage played, and the woman in all white walked across the screen, I suddenly realized that our very own Gail Falkenberg was right there among the legends. Seeing Gail on that big national stage filled me with pride. We are incredibly fortunate to have such an accomplished superstar living here at Stone Creek — someone who not only trains and teaches, but generously shares her lifetime of experience with all of us. Way to go, Gail!
