I was informed today that, due to personal reasons, staff member Francisco Kuzbard (center of picture) has resigned from his responsibilities with the IRF. Francisco has been a valuable member of our staff for several years, and we would like to take the opportunity to thank him sincerely for all the support given to both the IRF and me personally over the last few years. He has more than exceeded his obligations and was a servant to international racquetball. THANKS FRANCISCO and my best wishes for you both in professional and personal life. Sincerely Osvaldo Maggi IRF - President
