Missouri State USBC Hall of Fame in 2014 and Great Kansas City Hall of Fame in 1993. The most joy he has found throughout his bowling career is helping others with their game, bowling neverhas been the same but I have learned the game from many professional bowlers. Earl Anthony, Dick Weber , Dave Soutar, Don Johnson, Teta Semiz, Fred Borden and many PBA ball drillers while on the Senior Tour. The fun now is being in the Bill Stives Senior League and the older bowlers are so much fun. Every week our ailments seem to take a hiatus for a few short hours. .
