Summary
Four-year-old Isabel put it all into perspective for dear "old" dad. Vin Romeo and his daughter were out together when a couple commented to Izzy that it was "so nice your grandfather brought you here." Izzy spun around, shooting them a piercing look. "That is not my grandfather; that's my father," she said. Turning her attention to her dad, she said, without missing a beat, "I love you daddy." At 63, it wasn't the first time Romeo was mistakenly tagged as Grandpa. And with 8-month-old twins also at home, it's likely not his last. "I am a grandfather," he said smiling. "Why would I mind?" Romeo, a father of five, ranging in age from 8 months to 42 years, and grandfather of three (ages 5 to 13), has a passion for parenting and he has a similar professional passion. This season Romeo is coaching his 75th high school tennis team in a career that spans 40 years, 35 at the Miami Valley School.
Romeo's tennis teams have a combined record of 1,176-234, a remarkable .834 winning percentage. The Rams coach has been tapped as the area Division II boys coach of the year nine times and earned the honor four times on the girls side. The veteran coach and the Rams are 12-1 on the season.See the full content of this document
