That wasn't in the cards, since he hadn't quite mastered his new leg, but over the years, I'd often seen him whacking tennis balls around the Vineyard Haven yacht club courts. Other players might be dressed in stuffy new whites, but Art, an utterly unpretentious man, favored a ratty old hat and baggy shorts that looked as if they might drop to his ankles at any moment...
