Bowling News Feature Writer - Frank Weiler and Owner Carol Mancini California USBC State Convention Was a “BLAST” by Frank Weiler ONTARIO – It was a “Blast” seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I had a chance to joke with Larry Peppers and chat with Carol Mancini. There was time to have a laugh with Kathy Bruegeman and congratulate Larry Worrall, Mike Lucas, Andre Eu- banks, Eugene McCown, Tom Leigh, Pauline Arm- strong and Lynn Matsubara on jobs well done. This op- portunity to mix and have fun with our California of- ficials is one of the reasons for attending the annual President Kathy Bruegeman California USBC Conven- tion. Our President Kathy Bruegeman did a great job conducting her first Annual Meeting smoothly and in a timely manner. Kathy’s smile is contagious, and her welcoming manner should go a long way in promot- ing our sport throughout the state. State Association Man- ager Larry Peppers was called on several times to Mike Lucas clarify and explain financial and policy matters. As usual, he gave clear and informative answers to the delegates. Larry gave a detailed explanation of the California Attorney General’s policy on raffles. Gary Forman, Fountain Bowl Chief Executive Officer, also provided helpful information on the subject of raffles. He also provided helpful informa- tion on several other topics during the Good of the Order. Mike Lucas, Hall of Fame Committee Co-Chairman, did an outstanding job at the Awards Banquet on Saturday evening describing the work of the committee and intro- ducing this year’s inductees Rosie Parker, Marv Sargent and Michelle Carter. This years Convention gets an A-PLUS grade and that’s why I look forward to next year in Fresno.
