My dad says that Andy Varipapa was the best bowler ever.

Oh my, talk about a blast from the past. Born and raised in St. Louis —had known Don Carter and Ray Bluth most of my life. Good friends of my dad’s.

My dad bowled several nights a week (mom was bowling widow). Dad not good enough for pro, but had a bowling average well over 200 most of his life. Dad worked to get the Bowling Hall of Fame started. Spent many nights in a bowling alley, smelling the burgers on the grill....

Dad won a lot of trophies —learned to hate ‘em as it was my job every Saturday morning to dust the damn things... :-)

I gave up bowling for pool. I’m pretty good at it.

When Chuck Norris bowls the pins fall over to get out of the way.
