I met Joel Prichard several times as a kid… grew up in a poor neighborhood in the 1980s where we played Pickleball on the playground and in PE class… when I first started hearing about this new craze (from friends in the Midwest!), I absolutely lost my mind - you mean that game we played in the ghetto when we weren’t playing tackle football in the streets? I’d love to know the story of how it got from Bainbridge Island to my poor neighborhood, and at the time Joel was just the Lt. Governor, I never made the connection to Pickleball until adulthood.
