Arthur Ashe's 1982 day planner. Journal was consistently used by Ashe all year to remember appointments and record the important events in his busy life, which changed dramatically in 1980 when he survived a heart attack and underwent a quadruple bypass, forcing him to retire. He didn't slow down, though, and Ashe's priorities are revealed through his concise, utilitarian entries, which serve as reminders for his various public engagements and events of personal significance to him. In tennis, Ashe notes various worldwide match-ups, including Wimbledon, the Davis Cup, the U.S. Open and many more. His media appearances are abundant, and include almost every major television network, including ABC, CBS and more. Travel this year was widespread, from England to Monte Carlo, Rome to Japan. He also notes various personal events, birthdays, anniversaries, a fishing trip and the like, with a ''Johnny Died'' notation on December 18. He also keeps track of sporting events across all disciplines, including the Super Bowl. Notations in Ashe's hand appear on most every page of the spiral-bound Day-At-A-Glance book, save for a a few days off the whole year. Features a black faux-leather soft cover. Measures 5.75'' x 8.25''. In very good condition, with mild toning throughout. With an LOA from Arthur Ashe's widow.
