I love this building! I'm new to PT and I am shocked that this elegant centerpiece of Port Townsend hasn't been restored. Actually, it's embarrassing to this community that it stands there empty and decaying. The PNW doesn't appear to have much desire to honor its history and the buildings that represent that history. So many of them have been torn down and are now lost throughout the Seattle area! Thank goodness the east coast states had the foresight and desire to save so many homes and buildings that existed at the founding of our country. I know it costs a lot of money to save these buildings but the longer it goes the more expensive it will get. At least seal up the broken windows and cracks to keep the pigeons, etc. out.

I love you're food, especially the tarimisu and morning muffins so amazing 😅

[0:29] Host: You started your pickleball experience in Vancouver, Washington. Is that correct? Norm: No, I started it in Surprise, Arizona. I came down visiting Surprise from Vancouver and they introduced me to the game down here, and then I went back to Vancouver. [1:12] Host: When were you introduced to pickleball? Norm: I think it was 2001. [1:40] Host: What got you hooked into pickleball? Norm: A friend tried to get me to play for months and I visualized it as an old person's game. One day I went by the courts and heard the click click click and walked over to see what it was. Somebody handed me a paddle and that got me started and messed up my golf game. [2:20] Host: Do you have any kids that play pickleball? Norm: They don't play regularly like I do, but they do play and they're all pretty good athletes. [2:58] Host: Can you talk about your childhood? Norm: I was a quiet kid, not bad or afraid of people, but I liked playing by myself. I played a lot of baseball and softball as a kid. When I was 16 or 17, I met the beautiful young girl who became my wife, so I wanted out of Michigan. I did not want to be buried in the automobile industry for the rest of my life, so that motivated me to go to the San Diego area. [4:25] Host: What's the story behind this photo from your high school yearbook? Norm: That was in our high school yearbook and I only included it because it showed that I played baseball and band in high school. I played a little bit of everything - drums, cymbals, tuba. [5:22] Host: Did you enjoy playing in the band? Norm: I did. I wanted to play drums but played whatever was needed as a fill-in. I still play instruments but damaged my left hand years ago so I have trouble with some guitar chords. But I've played a lot of different instruments over the years. [6:12] Host: Who is this a photo of? Norm: That's my bride. I met her at her brother's house when I was 19 and she was 17. That's when we got married. [6:39] Host: How long have you been married? Norm: 63 years. [7:12] Host: What's going on in this photo? Norm: That was a paper drive for charity where we collected paper from neighborhoods. [8:01] Host: Were you a greaser in the 1950s? Norm: I wore the t-shirts and did all that goofy stuff, but I never smoked even though it was the thing to do. After about a year when I was 13, it wasn't worth it anymore so I quit. [9:40] Host: What's this photo of? Norm: That's me in my 40s playing racquetball. I played that game from 1971 to 1999. [10:46] Host: How did you get started with pickleball in Arizona? Norm: When we moved to Surprise in 1999, there was only one place to play racquetball and I didn't know anybody. So I decided I would play golf and softball for a while until 2001 when I found pickleball. [11:34] Host: Can you talk about this photo? Norm: That was the first year of pickleball at the Senior Olympics. I didn't actually play that year but I helped with desk work at the tournament. [12:08] Host: Do you remember this medal match you won? Norm: That was my first year playing. I think that was a bronze medal for men's singles. I beat a really good player somehow. [12:44] Host: Who is the woman in this photo with you? Norm: That was the lady who actually introduced me to the game and handed me my first paddle. I still see her around. A very pleasant lady. [13:16] Host: What tournament was this photo taken at? Norm: I think that was my first mixed doubles bronze medal. We played together for several years and did pretty well until I had a shoulder problem and couldn't play much anymore. [13:48] Host: How are your shoulders now for playing? Norm: I have two terrible shoulders but I've learned to play with them. I protect my shoulder and I've done it so long now that I can handle it pretty well. I do some goofy looking shots I call chicken wing shots, but they work for me. [14:31] Host: Can you demonstrate how you compensate for your shoulder when hitting balls? Norm: If I get a high ball on my forehand shoulder high, that's hard on my shoulder. So I cut my elbow in and move my body to come down on the ball. It looks dorky but works for me and it's instinctive now. On the backhand there's no stress on my shoulder so I can follow through fine. [15:59] Host: Where was this photo taken? Norm: That was taken on our neighborhood courts in Surprise right after we got the courts made. [16:27] Host: How long have you had courts in Surprise? Norm: We got those down in 2003 I think it was. Myself and a couple other fellows went to the builders and said we need to get some pickleball courts. After we introduced them to the game, they decided it was a good thing to build the courts. [17:18] Host: How many courts do you have there today? Norm: There's six courts there. We hosted the Senior Olympics for six or seven years and had about 300 players. [17:46] Host: Are these the courts you still play on today? Norm: Yes, I still play there once or twice a week. I also play on the Surprise city courts more because the competition is higher there and I like working with younger players. [18:19] Host: Can you talk about the hats you're wearing in this photo? Norm: We were hosting the Arizona Senior Olympics then and needed to raise money, so we designed shirts and hats to sell. I designed the logo with the paddle and ball. We sold hundreds of them for the club. [19:09] Host: What tournament is this from? Norm: I'm pretty sure we medaled there but I don't remember what we got. It looks like maybe a bronze. [19:40] Host: What tournament is this medal from? Norm: That was the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah. Another gold medal in mixed doubles. [20:25] Host: Do you remember this medal match? Norm: I know I medaled again but I couldn't tell you what it was. [20:44] Host: Have you played in all the National pickleball tournaments? Norm: Yes, I've played them all. [20:57] Host: Have you medaled at every National tournament? Norm: Yes, I've gotten a gold, silver or bronze at every National for the last seven tournaments. [21:12] Host: So you're the man to beat then? Norm: Well, everybody gets lucky once in a while. But in my age bracket I guess I have a target on my back. They want to beat me, which is all good fun. [21:47] Host: How did you do at Nationals six in this photo? Norm: I know I medaled again but I don't remember what color. [22:20] Host: Can you talk about the first National tournament? Norm: We selected Palm Springs for the first one because they had courts and space to convert tennis courts temporarily. I think there were over 300 players from at least 25-30 states. It was a great event. [23:27] Host: What's going on in this photo? Norm: That was one of six or seven classes we taught at a local school, starting at 7am and going to 2:30pm. This was one of the groups of kids and teachers. [23:52] Host: Is youth development a hot button for you? Norm: Yes, it is. On April 15th we're hosting a first-ever interschool high school tournament on our city courts. The teachers will play too. In four years we'll have a pretty good sized tournament. My goal is to document the process to use as a roadmap for others nationwide. [24:38] Host: Can you talk about your experience on the USAPA board regarding training? Norm: In 2005 when USAPA formed, they asked me to take up training. I didn't want to be a court trainer, so I created over 60 training videos to show basic rules and aspects of the game. Beyond rules, I also conducted interviews, including with pickleball co-founder Barney McCallum at the original pickleball court. [25:43] Host: I see you have over 250,000 views on your Basic Pickleball Rules video on RUclips. Did you know it was that popular? Norm: Besides the 100,000+ online views, several thousand more have been reproduced and sold. It was intended for schools and is part of a DVD we sold and gave away thousands of to teach the game. The 2-minute clips work well for teens' short attention spans. [26:49] Host: You started making training videos in 2005? What motivated you? Norm: I didn't know what training meant when USAPA asked me to take it on. Making videos was a way to teach the game without being a court trainer. I've now been producing videos for 17 years to grow the sport.

Maggie's Magical Reunion (Olympic Peninsula Humane Society) Once upon a time, in a cozy town on the Olympic Peninsula nestled between tall mountains and sparkling streams, lived a wonderful dog named Maggie. Maggie was no ordinary dog; she was a 7-year-old Presa Mastiff/Lab mix with a heart as big as the moon and fur as soft as the summer breeze. But Maggie's story had started with a touch of sadness. Maggie had found herself in a place called the OLYMPIC PENINSULA Humane Society, where kind-hearted people took care of animals who needed a loving home. After six long months of waiting for her forever home, an animal-loving woman named Diana became Maggie’s foster mom. Diana soon realized that Maggie was not just any dog. She was smart, gentle, and had a heart full of love. Read More (Photo) docs.google.com/document/d/1NS9XR00luckVqGZ8Fq8A7rKTxF4XEh4F4MU5WhbAjE0/edit?usp=sharing

1:47 : That's heartwarming. Can you tell us about Dudley's temperament?

The RUclips video revolves around Dudley, a senior Pit Bull Terrier, who found his way to the Jefferson County Humane Society in Port Townsend, Washington. Heather, a dedicated staff member, provides insight into Dudley's journey and life at the shelter. Dudley's story is heartwarming. Heather, a former pastry chef, moved to Port Townsend with her husband. Due to a wrist injury, she was initially a part-time volunteer at the shelter, which eventually turned into a full-time position as a community coordinator. This demonstrates how love and passion for animals can lead to fulfilling careers. Dudley, the star of the show, was surrendered by his owner in January 2023. When he arrived, he was considerably overweight, but his sweet disposition was evident. Despite being nervous initially, Dudley was excited to meet new people. His gradual weight loss and improved health are attributed to regular, slow walks suggested by the shelter's vet. Describing Dudley's temperament, Heather portrays him as a playful, sweet-natured dog who adores playing ball and socializing. However, he can get a bit overexcited, occasionally exhibiting jumping and mouthiness, which should be managed in a home environment. Dudley is estimated to be around eight years old, making him a senior dog. While he enjoys daily walks, he'd be a great fit for someone seeking a mellow, older companion for leisurely strolls, couch cuddles, and car rides. Dudley's behavior on a leash is generally good, although he may pull if he spots another dog or person. He's treat-motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. Despite his initial shyness with strangers, he has become more sociable, thanks to interactions with various dog walkers at the shelter. The video discusses Dudley's preferences and the kind of home that would suit him best. He's not fond of cats or other dogs, and young children may need supervision due to his occasional excitement. Therefore, he'd thrive in a home with an experienced, patient owner who understands his needs. Heather details the shelter's adoption process, emphasizing the importance of finding the right fit for Dudley. Applications are carefully reviewed, and meet-and-greets are arranged to ensure compatibility. The shelter also offers resources and support to adopters, including a two-week return policy if necessary. In summary, Dudley is portrayed as a delightful senior dog with a heart of gold, looking for a loving forever home. His journey from being surrendered to finding a second chance at the shelter is a testament to the care and dedication of the staff. Dudley's story serves as a reminder of the positive impact adoption can have on the lives of both animals and their human companions.

Summary: The RUclips video transcript discusses a senior Pit Bull Terrier named Dudley who arrived at the Jefferson County Humane Society in Port Townsend, Washington. Heather, a staff member, provides information about Dudley's background and his time at the shelter. Dudley is described as a gentle and playful dog who has made significant progress since his arrival, including losing weight and becoming more sociable. Dudley is around eight years old and enjoys regular walks. He is good on a leash but may become excitable around other dogs and may not be suitable for homes with cats or very young children. The adoption process involves an application review and a meet-and-greet to ensure the best fit for Dudley. The shelter offers support and resources to adopters, including a two-week return policy if needed. Dudley is described as an ideal companion for someone looking for an older, mellow dog who enjoys walks and companionship. The transcript also mentions Dudley's medication, which helps keep him calm in the shelter environment. Overall, Dudley is portrayed as a sweet and deserving dog in search of a loving forever home.

Incredible beautiful interview in Piort Townsend for the wooden boat festival. What beautiful romantic history and sailing 75 countries and two times around the world ⛵️ 🌎 together. What a fantastic archiments sailing experience on Bristol Channel Cutter wooden classic design boat.

Interviewer: You asked me if I had a happy childhood. Did you have brothers, sisters, whatever? I had one sister who was three years younger. I was the oldest. Just two children in my family, and my sister, Dorothy, passed away about eight years ago. Dorothy, yes, and she was married to Richard Strawbridge, and they lived in San Jose, California. But you've always been in Chicago? Interviewee: Yes, I grew up in Chicago. Interviewer: And you grew up on a street in Chicago? Interviewee: Yes, essentially. I mean, in 1906 or 1920 in Chicago, that was Al Capone. Interviewer: Oh, I see. You were going to high school during the heyday of the Capone organization. Did you run into any kind of problems with any of those people? Interviewee: I didn't, but many others did. I didn't have any problems in high school. Interviewer: Did you go to a posh, prestigious high school? Interviewee: No, it was on the west side of Chicago. Interviewer: Every summer, you went to a boys' camp in Madison, Wisconsin? Interviewee: That's right. It had mountains, trees, and trails, with a nice lake, Lake Mendota, right at Madison. We had tents, and I became the camp bugler. Interviewer: Oh, the bugler! So you learned to play the bugle? Interviewee: Yes, and then I learned to play the trumpet. I became a member of a dance orchestra in high school, and we played around quite a bit. Interviewer: What kind of music did you play? Interviewee: It was big band stuff, and I also played with a small band of probably less than eight members. Interviewer: Ah, interesting. Did you also play in the orchestra pit for silent movies? Interviewee: Yes, about the time I went to the University of Chicago, the band I was playing with got a job in a theater playing for silent movies. Interviewer: Oh, I see. So that's how you financed your education to some extent? Interviewee: Yes, I made much more money than the big athletes, waiting on tables at the university. In those days, every silent movie had a little orchestra and an organist. They would alternate playing during the movie. Interviewer: Oh, I always thought they only had a piano. Interviewee: That was much earlier. In my time, it was an orchestra and an organ. Interviewer: I didn't know that. Fascinating. You mentioned that your father and his brothers owned theaters. Tell me more about that. Interviewee: Yes, they operated two or three theaters in Austin, but they didn't have the initiative of Balaban and Katz, so their little theaters never developed into a big movie chain, and they got out of the business after a while. Interviewer: I'd like to know more about your father. How did he start out? Interviewee: He started as an office boy. When he was in grammar school, there was an ad in the paper for an office boy, and he got the job. Interviewer: And he eventually became a cashier at a bank? Interviewee: Yes, it was a good Jewish bank called Greenbaum Sons Bank and Trust Company. I was actually named after one of the owners of that bank. Interviewer: That's a nice name. How did he fare during the Depression? Interviewee: He still had a job, but he never made a lot of money. The most he ever made in a year was $7,500. Interviewer: And he was involved in the Masonic circle? Interviewee: Yes, he was active in the Masons and Shriners. Interviewer: That's interesting. So you went to the University of Chicago for four years. Did you have majors there? Interviewee: Yes, I majored in sociology and history. Interviewer: You mentioned earlier that your father was a Shriner. Can you tell me more about your involvement with the Masons and Shriners? Interviewee: Well, my father was very dedicated to his Masonic duties. He was a Master of a lodge and often conducted Masonic funerals and other ceremonies. As for the Shriners, they were a level up in the Masonic organization. They were known for their charitable work, especially in supporting children's hospitals. I remember attending some Shriner events with my father when I was younger. Interviewer: That's wonderful to hear about their commitment to charitable work. Did you ever consider following in your father's footsteps and joining the Masons or Shriners? Interviewee: I did consider it, but as life got busier and my own interests took me in different directions, I never pursued membership in those organizations. However, I always admired the sense of camaraderie and the philanthropic efforts they undertook. Interviewer: It sounds like you had a multifaceted life during your college years. Apart from playing in the theater orchestras and studying sociology and history, did you have any other significant experiences at the University of Chicago? Interviewee: Yes, I was involved in various student organizations and clubs. I was part of a debating society, which helped improve my public speaking and critical thinking skills. I also participated in a volunteer group that organized community events and helped local charities. Overall, my college years were filled with diverse experiences that shaped my character and interests. Interviewer: That sounds like a well-rounded college experience. After you completed your education at the University of Chicago, what path did you choose for your career? Interviewee: I initially worked in the field of social work, utilizing my sociology background. I was drawn to helping others and making a positive impact on the community. However, as time went on, I transitioned into the business world, where I found success in various managerial roles. Interviewer: It's interesting how life can lead us down unexpected paths. How did you feel about the transition from social work to business? Interviewee: At first, it was a significant change, but I soon realized that the skills I had developed in social work, such as communication, problem-solving, and empathy, were valuable assets in the business world as well. I adapted quickly and found satisfaction in leading teams and contributing to the growth of the companies I worked for. Interviewer: That's a valuable insight. It's evident that your experiences, both in your childhood and college years, have had a lasting impact on your life. Is there any advice you would give to young people today based on your experiences and the wisdom you've gained over the years? Interviewee: Absolutely. I would encourage young people to embrace new experiences and opportunities, even if they may seem unrelated to their long-term goals. Life is full of surprises, and each experience can teach valuable lessons. Also, never underestimate the power of networking and building strong relationships with others.

only remaining person in the 3:46 orchestra that came originally and I played in theater orchestras for the 3:52 four years that I attended the University of Chicago that how you financed your
