Most of us who are active in the sport of bowling wish we
could go on and on, and never have to give it up. Life happens. As we get older, sometimes our scores drop
beyond what we would like to remember, and worse yet, our bodies are not as
limber as they once were. It’s hard to admit it’s time to put the shoes away.
That time has
come for one 81 year old bowler here in Danville
to put his shoes away. After giving it
the yeoman’s try for the 1st month of the new season, a Senior
Bowler has decided with his bad hip, he could no longer participate in a sport
he has loved for so many years. He started off bowling in leagues at both
Lincoln Lanes and the Bowling Ball. He then started bowling in Ridgefarm, where
he was the President of the Senior League for 12 years. The lanes were
destroyed by a devastating fire, and he then helped to move the league to where
it is today, Lincoln Lanes. I speak of my father, Harvey Miller, He is still
hanging around the lanes, watching his wife, Shirley, and two of his sons
continuing in this sport.
In the MS Nail
Salon League, Sandy Cunningham bowled a 400 series, and a 150 plus game.
Dorothy Hesler rolled a 158 game for a USBC 150 game award. Daughter, Pam Jeffers shot a 175, while Frances
Miller-Hauf topped out at 155. Diana Myers shot a 166 game, which was included
in a 400 series award.
At Sycamore Lanes

was another easy night, 108 average bowler Marcy McQueen had a 186, 78 pins
over. Ted Pearman was 67 pins over average. He also had games of 203, and a
146, for a 586 series. Kevin Barnes, a 183 average bowler, shot a 258, 75 over,
and games of 209 and 157 to cap the night out with a 624 series. Alen Arnold
