The other day I got a phone call from the organizer of the
Heartland Games Pickle Ball Tournament.
He asked for Barb. I told him
she was out. He asked me if she realized
that her and her partner Ross, in the mixed doubles tournament, would be playing in
the 55 and under category. I said that I
thought she did.
He said that Ross was 72 years old. Usually people will play down one level but
he has never seen someone come down that many levels.
Barb found out later that the organizer also phoned Ross
and asked him the same question.
Ross said, “Yes, I have taken out the WD40, to grease the
wheels on my wheelchair”.
Barb and Ross went out and won the bronze medal in the 55 and under
category. They got their names in the paper but not their ages.
