Frew Donald McMillan, 1992 Enshrinee: International Tennis Hall of Fame(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Side by side again entering the Hall of Fame in 1992, Frew Donald McMillan was reunited with his one-time collaborator on the team of Hewitt and McMillan.
The unorthodox McMillan-- stroking with two hands on both sides in the left court--and Bob Hewitt were a dynamite blend, winning five major titles (three Wimbledons) driving South Africa to the 1974 Davis Cup.
McMillan's individual total of pro doubles titles was 74, third on the all-time list behind Tom Okker (78) and McEnroe (77).
McMillan was known for his trademark white cap and his double-handed play, both on the forehand and backhand.
McMillan described their play as “touch and thrust” and said that they understood each other’s thinking from the first time they played together.
Both Hewitt and McMillan went on to successful careers as television broadcasters, testament to the regard that they are held in through their achievements on the tennis courts of the world.
McMillan and Hewitt became an instant hit in the tennis world, winning match after match.
On his own, McMillan also won two pro single titles, and with mixed doubles partner Betty Stove he took the mixed Wimbledon title in 1978 and 1981, and the US Open title in 1977 and 1978.

McMillan, standing at 6-feet-1-inch, was born and raised in Spring's, South Africa on the 20th May 1942, developing his style, holding his tennis racket like a cricket bat, enabling him to slug and chip, beneath his white cap that covered his dark hair.

I am very pleased with the ongoing Memorial Hall renovation but am especially pleased that a permanent memorial will be established to honor Carolina's war dead.
I agree completely with Alex FrewMcMillan '94, a British subject, who writes to propose that the memorial not be restricted to students or alumni who died serving the USA.
McMillan points out, UNC is an international institution that should include those foreign UNC students and alumni who have given their lives for their own countries.
