In addition
to his obsession with buttons, Guy also became obsessed at an early
age with being a tennis pro. He liked the cute shorts, and liked holding
a racket.
His tennis teacher at the time, Elmer Fleck, was a known strangler of
poultry, but he was an excellent teacher and Guy Haines soon became
an ace player
at age eight.
Elmer Fleck was arrested soon after this photo was taken, for strangling
thirteen chickens and two turkeys. This was devastating to Guy, but
his new teacher, Warren Warren, was even better.
