PDW and I are friends and he has always been very good to me, and here's an example.
Tuesday at the Masters, I was working the tournament for the USBC and Pete ended up on a pair that was assigned to me. He just threw a strike on lane 68, and when he was walking back he saw me, pointed at me, came up and we shook hands while exchanging pleasantries for a minute or so. The people that were there, their eyes got as big as basket balls! lol
This is not normal for him to do. When he's on the lanes he's is very intense and focused on his game.
He also doesn't tolerate bs very well either. One of the announcements made before competition started, was that taking photos and videos was not allowed, and when somebody was taking a picture of him he started getting vocal about it and told the person they are not allowed to do that.
Needless to say, it did not take long for tournament personnel to get there to find out what was going on! lol
When he doesn't throw a ball well he will start cussing and get animated, and I saw that more than once that day. lol
Fortunately for me, I know a few other pros and they are always talkative to me. They are a darn good bunch and I'm proud to say they are friends of mine.

Thank you all for participating in my little survey. I actually interviewed Pete this morning for BTM next month. Special thanks to Bowl1820 and Janderson from Bowling Boards, and MegaMav and TonyPR from Bowl Chat... your questions, all or in part made it into the interview. I especially liked TonyPR's question, "How does it feel to be a fifty plus year old rock star?" Pete got quite a laugh out of that one any replied, "Awesome!"
That would be a fun read. Too bad I no longer subscribe to BTM anymore.
