(00:22):
who has made such a difference inthe Bay Area to give them the limelight,

and then he gives us drills everyFriday. But not only that.
To set up the pickleball, heclears the tables for people that eat lunch
and sweeps the floor before he setsup the net because you know, they
don't have a permanent pickleball cork.The fact that he's doing this. You

and social and social that's probably themost important part, right, is the
social aspect of this. Right.Okay, Chris, we just got Alan

favorite radio station. Ah. Well, you know I don't do this for
acknowledgement or rewards. Of course,it's an amazing group of people. Us
seniors wouldn't be competitive if it wasn'tfor you. I have a feeling Alan
