Clipperton's funeral — Mario's smile through tears; nothing filmed

texture · YW / 2002

• When: Shortly after the death (YW), at a Veedersburg IN interment.
• What: JOI took Mario to "the first of his life's two funerals so far"; the jr.-tennis community found it "healthy" that Mario's perfectly even smile never faltered even through tears. JOI acceded to Mario's request that nothing be filmed for the documentary.
