Around 40 people attended the unveiling of the Charlie and Nancy Herrington Tennis Center sign Tuesday afternoon at Marble Falls High School, after the Marble Falls Independent School District board of trustees approved in April the renaming of the center in their honor. The occasion was marked by several of Charlie’s friends and his wife Nancy reminiscing about the lifelong tennis coach and teacher. Charlie died in March at age 69.
Nancy, who was emotional as she spoke and thanked everyone, said her husband would not have been comfortable with “all this attention,” but that he would be honored. “He was a special man and I miss him every day,” she said. Nancy, who was an MFISD teacher along with Charlie, ended with an enthusiastic “Go Get ‘Em, Mustangs!”
