John W. 'Jack' Frost (born October 23, 1934, in Monterey, California) is a scholar and former touring tennis player.[1]
Tennis career[edit]
In 1949, Frost won the U.S. National Boys' (15-and-under) Championships at Kalamazoo, Michigan[2] and the U.S. National Juniors' (18-and-under) three years later(1952).[3] Following his win, he was awarded a spot on the four-man U.S. Davis Cup team to play against Canada.[4] In the Fall he entered Stanford University, and in his senior year, 1956, he played in the final of the NCAA Singles Championship, losing to Alex Olmedo of U.S.C.[5] A decade later he was inducted into the Stanford Athletics' Hall of Fame.
Following military service, Frost played the international tennis circuit between 1958 and 1963, competing in six Wimbledon Championships and getting out to the 4th round in 1960, before losing to Nicola Pietrangeli.[6] He won the Irish[7] and Wiesbaden[8] (including the mixed doubles with Maria Bueno) and was in the finals of the South African,[9] the Canadian,[10] the Norwegian[11] and the Good Neighbor.[12] During the course of his career he had singles wins in major grass court tournaments over all-time greats Rod Laver,[13]Roy Emerson[14] and Vic Seixas[15] and over numerous international Davis-Cup mainstays on various surfaces: Luis Ayala,[16]Thomaz Koch,[17]Mario Llamas,[18] Antonio Palafox,[19] Giuseppe Merlo,[20] Istvan Gulyas,[21] Bob Mark,[22] Frew McMillan,[23] Christian Kuhnke,[24] Bob Hewitt,[25] Gordon Forbes,[26] Warren Woodcock,[27] Billy Knight,[28] Ron Holmberg,[29] Dennis Ralston,[30] Barry Mackay,[31]'Jack Douglas'[32] and Tom Brown.[33]
Frost beat Whitney Reed at Newport on grass in 1961, the year in which Reed achieved the number one ranking in the U.S.,[34] and in 1954 he defeated Straight Clark at Forest Hills in one of the longest matches played there in the pre-open era.[35]
Frost participated in the winning of several major doubles titles: Southampton (with Giammalva over Richardson and Holmberg),[36] Puerto Rico (with Richardson over Contreras and Llamas), and a semi-final win with John Cranston over Laver and Neale Fraser at the Irish Championships.[37] A top 10 player in the United States in 1961,[38] Frost was also ranked number 1 in Northern California in that year.[39] He was subsequently inducted into the Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame.
In 1964 Frost conducted a four-month good-will tennis program in Ghana[40] on behalf of the U.S. Government and did another one in India in 1990.[41]
Jack is retired and lives in Palm Desert, CA.
Academic[edit]
Frost received a B.A. from Stanford University, an M.A. from the Monterey Institute of Foreign Studies, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara (June 15, 1974). Simultaneously, through a series of National Defense Foreign Language grants, he was able to become proficient in Arabic and Swahili and eventually was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to cover a year abroad, some four months of it to be spent in Khartoum (Sudan).[42] Later he participated in writing an academic history of the British in the Sudan.[43] and contributed a review to the journal of the American Historical Association.[44] More recently he published a specialized history of the Monterey Peninsula.[45]

Detective InspectorWilliam Edward 'Jack' Frost, GCQPM, is a fictional detective created by R. D. Wingfield—characterised as sloppy, untidy, hopeless with paperwork—but unmatched at solving mysteries. The character has appeared in two radio plays, ten published novels, and a TV series spanning 42 episodes between 1992 and 2010.
'Jack' is a nickname, alluding to Jack Frost.
Radio plays[edit]
The character first appeared in a radio play entitled Three Days of Frost first transmitted on BBC Radio 4 on 12 February 1977, which is a re-telling of Wingfield's 'Frost at Christmas' (the novel had yet to be published). He was portrayed by Leslie Sands. The character's second appearance was also on BBC Radio 4, in a play entitled A Touch of Frost, also based on Wingfield's second novel of the same name, transmitted on 6 February 1982. In the second radio play the character was portrayed by Derek Martin.
Novels[edit]
Wingfield published six novels about DI Frost, starting with Frost at Christmas in 1984. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, three new Frost books were published under the name James Henry. In the case of First Frost, this pseudonym refers to James Gurbutt and Henry Sutton, but in Fatal Frost and Morning Frost it refers to Gurbutt only.

Television series[edit]
Beginning in 1992, television adaptations of the novels, and further stories based on the characters were transmitted on ITV in the UK. The series starred David Jason as Frost. This series was broadcast under the umbrella title A Touch of Frost. There were thirty-eight stories broadcast (forty-two episodes, if counted individually). These have been released on VHS and DVD internationally.
Three endings were filmed for the final episode. The first ending saw Frost the victim of a hit-and-run on his wedding day, and later suffering a fatal heart attack in hospital. The second ending saw his colleague George Toolan die instead, as a result of the car crash. The third was similar to the second with Superintendent Mullet being the victim. The second ending was the one officially used (with David Jason's support). The ending in which Frost dies was screened during a tribute to the show on ITV1 on 6 April 2010.
