Senior Outdoor Nationals 2013
Above, Carol, Bill and Brian Pedlar accepting the plaque on their
father's behalf,
Jack Pedlar, who was introduced into the Canadian Tennis Hall of
Fame by Robert Bettauer during Steve Stevens Senior National Championships banquet
dinner on Thursday August 22 at the
Vancouver Lawn
Tennis Club. Jack was honored for his lifelong dedication to
the sport of tennis in BC. He played a huge role in the development of tennis in
BC by acting as a coordinator to build the relationship between the USTA
and the Pacific Northwest, enabling many
junior and senior players to compete in tournaments. Jack Pedlar
played the sport until his passing in 2009.
