Of course, since my Dad was an extremely successful pro bowler, I was drawn to the sport and was quite an avid participant. In 1978, soon after graduating from college, I became part of the family business. I've certainly enjoyed it.

Just during 1961, the number of American bowlers increased from 6,500 to more than 10,000. Joining such cities as Akron, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago, St. Louis long has been a bowling cornerstone.
