54 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2018 It has been said that Pickleball players range widely in age and interest but where they meet is in their passion for the sport and the good natured camaraderie of their friends. When Ray Windhorn decided to celebrate his 84th birthday on June 9, friends from tennis, billiards and paddle tennis were invited, but Pickleball people made sure the party was a party! At 84, Ray may be one of our oldest members, but our youngest (and honorary) member Taylor Spongberg explained Pickleball this way: "It brings together people from all walks of life for a fun and active time!" In other pickleball action, the early hours of June 30 found 35 men and women on the pickle ball courts eager to compete in our Fourth of July tournament. Battling hard and long, six games for men's and women's doubles and four games for mixed doubles, winners were declared in the following categories and announced on July 4. Women's Doubles Group A: Kim Olsen and Julie Stayner (tie) Women's doubles group B: Pickleball Nancy Barnaby Men's doubles group A: Bruce Lewis Men's doubles group B: Dave Thomason Mixed doubles group A 1st place: LynnRae DuPree Mixed doubles group A 2nd place: Rick Von Kleist Mixed doubles group B, 1st Place: Mike Flowers and Julie Stayner (tie) That being said, with pickleball it's all about the people. Whether a beginner or a trophy winner, pickleball people are eager to talk to each other about pickleball, pets, parties and any other slice of life. It's all about the people so come on out! If you are new to the sport there will always be someone on the courts to help you out and explain the rules, or contact Pickleball Nancy Barnaby for specific times for instruction. See you on the courts! ~ Julie Stayner Pickleball Above: Ray Windhorn celebrates 84 years Right: Pickleball winners (minus Kim Olsen) plus birthday celebrant Ray Windhorn
