The best moment for me was not hitting a special score, but when I met my husband when Athol-Orange Ten Pin closed and after traveling to bowl in Greenfield, MA for a year.

When I started bowling at Playaway Lanes in Winchendon, MA, I originally bowled in the Monday Night Ladies League and then started in the Thursday Night Mixed Couples League with Harold and Rita Mason, and with Henry, who is now my husband. As he would tell you, I was one telephone ring away from not having an invitation to the bowling banquet at the 'Windon Restauarant'. Even though, I was planning on going, he wanted to know if I wanted to leave my car at the lanes and ride with him.

I've always wanted to be a better bowler than I am, of course only bowling 3 games a week doesn't help to improve my score. I've come close 8 to 10 times of hitting a sanctioned 600 but have always fallen short. I love bowling, and I wish I could be a better bowler.  I would like to start bowling more, with the hope that it would help me become a higher average bowler.
