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.

  • WORLD BOWLING TOUR FINALS SET ARLINGTON, Texas
    November 1, 2012 WORLD BOWLING TOUR FINALS SET ARLINGTON, Texas – The 2012 World Tenpin Bowling Association World Bowling Tour regular season came to a close over the weekend and the players who will battle for a $70,000 prize pool in a special season-ending event has been determined. The top three men and top three women in the tour points standings advanced to the WTBA Bayer Advanced Aspirin World Bowling Tour Finals, which will take place in Las Vegas, United States, on Nov. 10. None of the top three men in the standings competed in the AMF Australian Masters over the weekend but all three had already mathematically locked up spots in the finals. Finland’s Mika Koivuniemi earned top honors with 408 points, while Mike Fagan of the United States finished second with 342 points and Chris Barnes of the United States finishing third with 338. On the women’s side, all three players who advanced are from the United States and the top three saw no change after the Australian event. Missy Parkin, who finished second in Australia, took first with 369 points, Kelly Kulick was second with 344 and Liz Johnson got the last spot with 295 points. The World Bowling Tour is made up of various events around the world and players earn points based on how they finish in each event. The current points system is based on a continuous two-year cycle, so points earned in 2011 are added to points earned in 2012 to determine the points list. The World Bowling Tour Finals will use a stepladder format in each division with the No.
