What was the first three tennis racquets you ever used and learned on?

First: an aluminum Bancroft that my mother bought from K-Mart. It had a red 'B' stencil I retouched every now and then. I played racquetball on the handball courts at my high school with it! 

Second: Dunlop McEnroe Graphite Comp frame. My first graphite frame. Great feel and flex. Had fiberglass.

Third: Donnay Borg Graphite Mid. It had a straight throat and a "bullet head" frame.

I started with a Price Classic, then the Prince Pro.  I then played awhile with the Prince woodie.  
Ah, yes. I had a few buddies that used those racquets on my high school team. I just recently saw someone with the Prince woodie. Very heavy racquet!

I forgot which racquet I learned on.  I remember hitting with my Dads wooden racquet though.  In high school I played with the Prince CTS approach.  It was a size 90 head.  This was before there were oversized heads.
Moved this to the tennis equipment discussion.  :)
Oh my...I can't even remember the first racquet, but I think they were wood.... father decided one day that we were all going to get up and be at the park on weekends at the latest by 7 am....Generally around 6:30.....A little sprinting up an incline followed by tennis...

The Racquets that followed i do remember though...still have them....Wilson T2000, prince pro, and a head racquet but can't remember the model....
Good that you still have them!

If it's a classic Head racquet, I might be interested in it. :)
