Donna Morales by Mary Lynly As a President of an organization, when was the last time you asked someone on your board to chair a committee and some brave soul said, “I will do that!” Donna Morales has thrown her hat in the ring over and over again for the last 30 years offering to climb on board for a variety of committees and events. Because she is one of those organized people, if she didn’t know everything about the task, she soon learned and in time, maybe even made it better. Donna is one of those people who does such an outstanding job of everything she does – no one wants to follow her. She’s responsible, promotes, creates enthusiasm, organizes and she understands the value of a good report, communication and recognition. She was born in Eugene, Oregon and her parents moved to California when she was 13 years old. Bowling came naturally as her grandfather and parents were bowlers and her dad and grandfather had bowled on some championship teams in Oregon. Her dad was very opinionated, and when it came to bowling, he was firmly entrenched in the idea that a Brooklyn strike wasnot a strike! No matter what. Good reason to aim for the right pocket. She met her husband Harold in High School, where they were both in band. She says, “Although I saw him every day in band class, it wasn’t until I saw him smiling and laughing one day outside of class that it was WOW – and that was it – the stalking began.” It wasn’t that easy but using various lures he soon began to notice her. Early marketing methods! They were married in 1963 and the marriage has lasted for 56 years. Harold has always been an ardent supporter of her endeavors. They have one son, a daughter-in-law and a yellow Lab grand dog. As a San Jose WBA board member for 5 years in the early ‘90’s, she served as the Head Scorekeeper for the annual Women’s Tournament each year. Getting scorekeepers for a good sized tournament is a very demanding full time job. The baptism of fire for sure. Backing up a bit, until she started league bowling in 1978, she was pretty much just a recreational bowler. It wasn’t long before she was asked to join a league that was being The California Bowling Writers formed to coach novice bowlers. This was a few years before she became a CWBA Certified has adopted Operation Freedom Paws! 16th Annual CBW Phone Card Drive—2017 Operation Freedom Paws, a 501(c)3 nonprofit Bowling Instructor in 1990 – but this was no doubt the beginning of her doing more than organization, founded in 2010 by California Bowler 2019 just bowling.

She also recently gathered 75 December 31, 2019 bowlers for the 2019 CUSBC Senior Singles tournament in Monterey. After Donna compiles all the necessary info for a particular tournament, she mails copies to each participant so they know exactly where and when they bowl and what tournament rules, they must abide by to ensure that they will not be disqualified. She has shared her leadership talents with the San Jose area bowlers for nearly 30 years and has found, as older bowlers pass away or stop bowling when centers close, the numbers wane. “It seems that new or younger bowlers aren’t interested in bowling “clubs”, like our local 600 Club, or in doing tournaments; and sadly, they’re also not interested in following league or USBC rules either”, she says. She’s experienced this firsthand for many years while serving as the secretary/treasurer of the local 600 Club, and in the same capacity in a women’s and a mixed league. As a member of the California Bowling Writers, she attended their 2018 annual meeting where CBW was looking for a new charitable endeavor. When asked if she had any ideas, Donna suggested Operation Freedom Paws, an organization that couples mostly shelter dogs with Vets that suffer from PTSD or other physical, neurological, psychological or mobility needs, and then trains the Vets to train their own dogs so that they become certified service dog teams. CBW was excited about the opportunity and did, indeed select OFP as their new charity. CBW just completed their 2nd annual bowling event fund raiser with Donna running the event that included a tournament and a variety of enticing things like a bake sale, silent auction, brackets, etc. netting $4,842.25 for OFP for a one-day effort.

He has since finished in 13th place a staggering four times in 2015, 2013, 2011, and 2007. The only major Belmonte has never won is the U.S. Open. It remains the one missing Rash has been surging in recent months on the PBA Tour and seems to be at the top of piece to an otherwise sparkling bowling resume. his game. If he can carry that momentum into this year’s U.S. Open, he is without ques- “It’s the only major that I haven’t won yet, and I really want to win it,” Belmonte said tion a threat to win the event. before last year’s U.S. Open. “But I think if I go into the U.S. Open really wanting to win, I think it does more damage than good. I’m going to try to put that at the back of my mind, play with what’s in front of me and make my spares. That’s what I intend to do.” Belmonte has had his chances. He lost in the championship match of the 2013 U.S. Open to , 214-156. In 2012, he finished third, losing to eventual champion Pete Weber in the semifinal. Last year, Belmonte missed the first cut in the event by 53 pins, finishing in 46th place. Given his performance so far this season, it would not be at all surprising to see him im- prove greatly from last year.

Over the years, EJ Tackett has had a couple of incredibly impressive showings at the U.S. Open, but he’s had way more disastrous finishes. Tackett finished fourth last year for his best career finish at the event. His second-best finish was sixth in 2013. He finished 20th in 2016 and in 2011, but after that, his record drops off a cliff. In his other four appearances, Tackett has finished on average in 115th place. The 13-time PBA champion has shown the ability to perform well in major events, however. He won the 2016 PBA World Championship and the 2017 PBA Tournament of Champions. Parker Bohn III ranks fifth on the all-time titles list with 35 career titles, yet none of Tackett has also been one of the most consistent performers on the PBA Tour in recent them have been the U.S. Open. The PBA Hall of Famer, who is now 56 years old, had a years, often battling Belmonte for titles. But if he wants to continue to climb up the ladder stretch where he nearly won the event, however. as one of the all-time greats, winning the U.S. Open would do wonders. Bohn made it to the title match in 1994 and said he bowled “a really good match” but lost to Justin Hromek, 267-230. The following year, Bohn made the show again as the third seed but lost in his first stepladder match to Steve Hoskins, 256-216, to finish fourth. Since 2013, Bohn has only bowled the U.S. Open once, finishing 71st in 2017, and said the schedule aligned just right this season to allow him to bowl. He spends a lot of his time these days wearing his dad hat versus his professional bowler hat, he said. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Bohn said he’s looking forward to com- peting but realizes it’s a bit of a tough task. “You never know that this year doesn’t turn things around,” Bohn said. “I may be a medium underdog and find myself at the top of the heap when it’s all said and done. Let’s cross our fingers and hope something like that can happen.” A Bohn victory this year would certainly rank right up there for feel-good story of the season with 's back-to-back wins.

Teams in the event included one bowler between the ages of 50 and 59 and one bowler over the age of 60. Even though the champions split the $2,800 first prize, neither earned a PBA title because both are non-members. In the best-of-three-game semifinal round, Nuzzo and Guerrieri blanked PBA Hall of Famer Tom Baker of King, CARNIVAL ELIMINATOR N.C., and partner Dean Billings of Rootstown, Ohio, 2-0, while Peters and Graham downed Jeff Zaffino of Warren, Pa., 9 pin No–Tap Tournament! and Don Herrington of Ballston Lake, N.Y., 2-0, to set up the championship match.

When we did the deal with ESPN way back when, that was me getting involved. “We hired good people and we ran the PBA like a real professional sport,” Slade added. “We al- ways felt (the PBA) was going to advance in the sports world, but ultimately it needed a bigger plan, so that’s why the deal with Bowlero made sense.” Glaser, a New York City native, was the PBA's prin- ciple investor financially, largely funding the early 2000's efforts to boost prize funds, regulate TV exposure and further explore arena settings. After a 10-year career in a variety of positions with Microsoft, Glaser founded Real- Networks in 1994, a company that produces RealAudio, RealVideo, RealPlayer, and Helix, among other products and services. A Yale graduate with degrees in Computer Science and Economics, Glaser has been a major donor supporting a wide range of humanitarian causes through- out his career. “In 1999, my good friend Chris Peters ap- proached me with the opportunity to get involved in what he called “saving the PBA,’” Glaser said. “I was a lifelong bowler and PBA bowling fan, so I happily said yes. “It’s a true honor (to be elected),” he added. “I have so much respect for the incredible athletes who make up the core of the PBA Hall of Fame. Other than Mike Slade, I am certainly the worst bowler ever elected to the PBA. But the last time I bowled I rolled a 217, so that’s something.” In addition to the inductions in Arlington on Jan. 18, the PBA also will present the 2019 Player of the Year; Harry Golden Rookie of the Year; Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award winner and PBA Tony Reyes Me- morial Community Service Award winner. The winners of those annual awards will be announced later this year.
