My pickleball game has been slowed by a bout with pneumonia. Hope to be back in shape by the end of summer with some games in Claremont.

He was my favorite catcher. A good one he was! Always called the right pitch. Photo enclosed has Helber and Browning taking aim at me.

We are pickleball champs somewhere! Nice visit with Tjarda in September.
Progress as a tournament pickleball player not going fast enough. Did not place in two tournaments this spring. Winnings thus far 10 dollars. It is amazing how many 75+ athletes there are out there that are really good. Don,t think Libby Gale has anything to worry about.

Thank you for posting about Libby Gale. I am trying my best to learn this sport. It's not easy. Glad you had a good experience at CHS Claremont ia a good place to be from and most of us came to California from somewhere else.

This is to let the class know that Libby Gale Macklin won a gold medal at the national finals of the Indian Wells pickleball tournament this past weekend. She and her playing partner won the mixed doubles championship in the 70-74 age group. I would argue that this is the crowning athletic achievement of our class male or female. Pickleball is easy to learn, but very difficult to play at such a high level. Congratulations to Libby!

We have qualified for the 2019 Tennessee Senior Olympics in Men's doubles 75-79. Don't ask how.
Opponents still alive.
I'm afraid Libby would whip me worse than those youngsters twenty years younger. Pickleball!

First pickleball tournament results were not good but I learned much. I wish I could find my own age group to compete with. No fun to get whipped by someone twenty years younger.
My condolences for Mia. She helped me get through Mrs. Elsbrees' creative writing class so I could face Mr. Elsbrees' English 101 the following year at CMC. I will never forget her.

I am ready to make a pickleball challenge. Anywhere outside or inside. Two games single or double with sudden death if necessary. You know who! Titanium knees great except airport security.
