60 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | OCTOBER 2022
Meet our Ping Pong Player of the Month --
Rob Kelman.
Many of you know Rob Kelman, Four
Seasons' resident artist and art teacher. Ping
pong players know the other side, also. Rob
has been playing ping pong with us since our
early days in the Aerobics Room. Through
persistent practice and play, Rob has gone
from an average player to one of our most
accomplished players. Here is his story.
Where were you born? New York City, NY.
When did you move into Four Seasons and
where did you move from? In 2011 we moved
into Four Seasons from Scottsdale, AZ.
What attracted you to Four Seasons? We
loved the community's amenities, home styles,
location, and natural surroundings like the
mountains.
What field did you work in before you retired?
I did interior design as well as painting outdoor
and indoor murals.
What are some of your favorite activities now
that you are retired? I love teaching art classes
which I have done for 46 years. I enjoy walking
our beautiful trails and playing ping pong.
What interesting places have you traveled
to? We have lived in New York, Florida, New
Mexico, Arizona, and now California. We have
traveled to Italy, France, Monte Carlo, British
Isles, Norway, Denmark, and Turkey.
How did you get started playing ping pong? I
played ping pong as a kid.
What do you enjoy most about ping pong?
The great exercise I get, the people I play with,
and the game itself.
Would you encourage other residents to join
our ping pong club and why? Yes! Exercise is
the Fountain of Youth, and this game keeps you
sharp.
We play Monday through Saturday from 2 to
4 pm at The Courts. Come join us or contact
