"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Arthur Ashe's 1979 day planner. Journal was consistently used by Ashe all year to remember appointments and record the important events in his busy life, which was thwarted this year as he suffered from a heart attack, forcing him to retire from professional tennis. On 13 December 1979, Ashe underwent a quadruple bypass surgery. Ashe marks ''HEART OPERATION'' in block letters on the 13 December entry. His daily priorities are revealed through his concise, utilitarian entries, which serve as reminders for his various public engagements and events of personal significance to him. Ashe here mentions various engagements to play tennis, as well as his commitments to attend ''ATP Queens 125,000 / Brussels 50 / Davis Cup'' and ''Wimbledon'' on June 25, which he won as the first African American to do so in 1975. Media appearances include ''60 Minutes A.M.'' among others, and on his busy social calendar, Ashe writes ''NYC - Paris - Strasbourg - Paris - Florence'', as he took a grand European tour trip, as well as personal engagements such as, ''Our Wedding Anniversary'' and ''Frank's Wedding Anniversary''. He also keeps track of sporting events across all disciplines, marking the day the World Series starts and 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 week or two 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.
