    I know I won't be teaching Summer School unless there is a miracle budget recovery. Summer school has been cancelled for all except High School.

    June is Las Vegas for Nationals. July I will be going to Chicago to bowl the Petersen Classic and North Carolina for "The Gathering." Other than that it will be time to organize the house and garage

    I have heard many stories about when the Pete was there. I wish I had bowled just one there. They do try to replicate the conditions and it is a hoot to see the lanes where the plastic ball out hooks anything else

    Hey, it wasn't a dump. It was just really old and had character and history. It had closed down before the fire anyway. I grew up in that neighborhood and went there often in my formative years. What I miss in that building is the hardware store. It was a great place that had stuff no-one else carried.

    I think your story is great. The bowling alley I bowled in for years is now a feed store. They sold teh lanes to some dance studio. Its sad sometimes to see history happen.
