Re: Bowling

While attending college in Ellensburg, I took bowling as part
of my P.E. minor. (I graduated with four minors: English, 
History, Political Science, and P.E... no major, just minors.) 
Anyway, we took turns setting pins. Keep in mind we were all 
girls setting pins in a world where we were too delicate to 
have more than a two step dribble in basketball. Being on the
short side, it was a challenge.

Re: Thank you, Tony DURAN ('55) for the war films. I hope to 
see you and Sylvia PLUMB Duran ('56) at Club 40.

Re: V-J Day - August 14, 1945
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ85j6U2Fvs

The YouTube video clip of VJ day in Hawaii brought back a lot of
memories of when I was living in Honolulu and of course Jimmy
Durante singing "I'll be seeing you". I lived there in 1961-'62
and it was strange seeing Diamond Head so clearly without the
city skyscraper hotels in the forefront and the vintage cars. As
I put my flag out this morning I thought of those who lost their
lives in that terrible war, on both sides, and say a silent
prayer for the families whose grief never dies.

Thank you Tony,

-Diane AVEDOVECH ('56)

Re: Bowling Alley

I went to work setting pins when I was 15. Leo Rollick and Bill
Vosper were co-owners of the bowling alley and when they sold it
Bill Vosper built and owned the Atomic Lanes down on Wellsian
Way. My mentors when I learned to set pins were Johnny KING
('56) and George BOWLS ('55). They showed me how to pick up 2
pins in one hand by crossing the necks and to always put the
pins in the rack before returning the ball to the bowler if they
didn't get a strike. If you sent the ball back to the bowler
they would get the ball and try to pick up the spare before you
were out of the pit. I remember setting pins with Thurman BOWLS
('56) and I think David BOWLS ('58) also set pins. My dad, Joe
Dvorak, worked some nights in both the bowling alley and in the
pool room for A.J. Foisy who owned the bowling alley and pool
room before Bill and Leo bought it.
