I remember Bill Scanlon...a name from the past. What's he up to these days?

Oh...that's sad.

Funny because your post prodded me into thinking about other American players and what became of them.

Many years ago a player called Billy Martin was hailed has an up and coming and widely thought of player...nothing happened.

Also I saw a kid called Ben Testerman (must have been about 18 at the time) play a mixed at Wimbledon with Billie Jean King. Nothing ever came of him either as I recollect.
