Lou Strumlauf's first love is tennis. However a few years ago he was talked into getting a computer and immediately became hooked. He says that he is only on his PC one hour a day, but his wife Annette says it is more likely four. The truth is probably somewhere in between. He is currently using a Dell 3000 PC and a Lexmark X83 all in one printer.

A short stay in the Navy during WWII, off to school under the GI Bill, and then a career in the Postal Service where he worked as an Industrial Engineer and Economic Analyst. After his retirement in 1983, he moved from his home in Douglaston, NY directly to Huntington Lakes ready to begin a new life in "playland."

Not willing to let the next guy do it, he got involved in his condo, serving as the Rules Committee Chairman and also a very vocal member of the Budget Committee.

As an avid tennis player he also got involved in the formation of the Huntington Lakes Tennis Club, becoming their 2nd President, and founder of the So. Palm Beach County Senior Tennis League, which promotes inter-condo play, and which is still thriving after 20 years.

After a few years, he and Annette joined the Gleneagles Tennis Club, and a short time later he became part of a group of founders of a soft court Country Club Tennis League. The league has grown to be the largest Senior Tennis League in the country, with approximately 4000 players. Lou was the league's 2nd President and he has continued his activity on the Board Of Directors until this year.

Lou is currently the President and Webmaster of the Huntington Lakes Computer Club. He and Annette are avid Bridge players, with a little canasta thrown in to spice things up. His 2 sons, Steven and Edward, along with his 2 daughters-in-law and 4 grandchildren and his wife of 56 years, Annette, have made him a very proud man.

When you want something done, they say you should ask a busy person, but please don't ask Lou now - he has enough on his plate.
