| LIFE IN SOLERA | OCTOBER 2022 | 33 The kid on the left (above) has been playing pickleball for 50 years. Any guesses? Answer below. This person grew up near the birthplace of pickleball (see August article in Life in Solera magazine). He and his family were some of the first people ever to play the game. His dad was friends with the inventors, Joel Pritchard, Barney McCallum and Bill Bell. Shortly after playing on the original court, his father had a court installed at their home. This kid grew up playing the game and now has been playing for over 50 years. Beginners are very welcome, and you'll be playing your first day. We play Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings. We start around 7 am for hot summer hours. Please wear proper court shoes and bring water, especially this time of year. We have paddles and balls for you to use. For more information, feel free to contact either Sue Miller at (503) 70-.4273 or Sandy Stearn at (951) 797-0991. For your viewing pleasure: https://www. gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Pickleball.
