Jane Bennett (Sielski)
"The body moves in the direction of the mind's most dominant thought" is an adage that I have carried with me ever since I had the immense pleasure and honor of playing tennis on the SLHS Girl's tennis team, with Mr. Bassett at the helm. I find this phrase applicable to most of the challenges in life that I face. Mr. Bassett taught me and my teammates essential life lessons through the great game of tennis, and even now (some 15 years later), I still hear his voice in my head softly saying "one point at a time, Jane. And if that's too much, one hit at a time." He was the definition of a good man, and will be sorely missed in his community that held him in such high regard.
