Curator's Comment
Ira Zaslow spent his childhood playing stickball and basketball. He took up the game of paddleball as an adult and played year-round both indoors and outdoors. Ira relished playing paddleball on the weekends, rising as early at 6:00 a.m. to meet his friends. According to Ira’s son Bryan, the weekend games were “pure happiness for him” and, once on the court, he would do “anything to play more."
