Charles M. O’Hearn elected FMTC President (1947-1949)

Charley O’Hearn (1901-2001) turned down an offer to be the Red Sox’s GM. Both FMTC and paddle benefitted from this decision.

Charles O’Hearn dominated the game from 1935 through to 1950 and won ten National Championships—four times in Men’s, five times in Mixed, partnering with his wife Ginnie for four of them, and the last Singles Championship. When he moved to New Haven, CT, in 1951, his involvement in the game declined, although he remained an excellent player.

His son Michael O’Hearn was also an active FMTC member and a Club and National Champion.
