Thank You , Garth and Rosemary......

Rich and I ( and especially Rich) loved to introduce new people to the game of pickleball.  I would usually train the "newbies" and Rich would provide clinics to experienced players to help them improve their game.

We met Garth and Rosemary at the Peace River Preserve in Wauchula, FL when we were full time RV'ing.  It was there that we taught a lot of new people how to play and where Rich would do two or three clinics each winter.

Garth and Rosemary are also great singer/song writers and we'll never forget the song they wrote one winter about pickleball and their desire to "play like Rich".  

Congratulations,Garth and Rosemary on your Gold Medals.............and for taking the time to share this great game with your Canadian friends~  Here's the picture they sent us today.........along with their e-mail message.

Hi Rich/Donna

How are things going...?  We saw the pictures of the new fence at Peace River.......it looks great. 

We are still playing Pickleball here in Canada..... getting it started here in Prince Edward Island.  So far we have three locations with about 50 players trained and playing.  

We had a regional 55+ games and Rosemary and I just barely nabbed the gold. 

Thank you to both of you for your encouragement and training that you both so generously gave to us.   We are now able  to give the same back to the people here.  

Garth and Rosemary
