Joan Taylor ’s Ten Pin Rap.... The Bowling

This week I had one of the most
interesting interviews with a local
bowler. It seems that I caught Walt
Taormina, 52, Oak Ridge, as he
was packing to move to the Atlanta,
Georgia area. Knowing he wanted
to sell his house and move to a
warmer, golf-related area, he has
subbed in leagues this year. He had
quit bowling for 14 years, in part
due to an injury, and in part
because of his love for the game of
golf. He won the Morris County
Amateur (golf) championship in
2004 and again in 2008.
But he wanted to get back into
bowling. Because of pain in Walt’s
ring finger, Ken Yokobosky at Pro
Image Pro Shop at Rockaway
Lanes worked with him and drilled
a 14-pound ball to experiment with
his game. The first night, he shot a
300 game, his fourth sanctioned
overall. “My first 300 was at
Paramus Lanes in 1979, so it was
30 years from my first to my
fourth.” He was blown away by the
new equipment, to say the least. He
was pleased that the bowling cen-
ters are all nonsmoking now. “One
of the other reasons I quit was
because of all the smoke.” His
series was 247-222-300 for 769.
He would like to see an 800 series,
having posted a 799. He owns a
remodeling business, which will
follow him to Georgia and his new
big house (with much lower taxes).
Congratulations on all fronts!
"Often, the most extraordinary opportunities
are hidden among the seemingly insignificant
events of life. If we do not pay attention to these
events, we can easily miss the opportunities."
-Jim Rohn
George Verhoest, Mine Hill,
rolled a 299 in the Lake Hiawatha
Men’s League, having left a 3-pin.
He enjoys one league per week,
averaging 202. His highest sanc-
tioned series to date was 790, so he
would like to see an 800 someday.

Foundation to
Dissolve Board
New Directors Will
Seek To Redefine
Mission and Vision.
ARLINGTON, Texas - The
Bowling Foundation (TBF) board
of directors voted to dissolve the
current structure effective
December 31, 2009. TBF's execu-
tive director Troy Greisen stepped
down immediately following the
vote. Program coordinator
Jennifer Lee will remain as a paid
staff member. The board cited a
difficult economy and the need to
become a more effective and effi-
cient organization as a reason for
its action.
A new board consisting of
BPAA Executive Director Steve
Johnson, USBC Executive
Director Stu Upson, Bowlers To
Veterans Link Administrator
Elizabeth Montanya, International
Bowling Museum and Hall of
Fame Executive Director Bill
Supper and a person to be appoint-
ed who will represent the interests
of TBF partner Susan G. Komen
Bowl For The Cure, will seek to
redefine the foundation's mission
and vision.
The decision was reached after
hours of discussion that focused
on how best The Bowling
Foundation can serve the bowling
industry in light of the current
economy. The board conceded its
current volunteer structure with a
paid executive director was not the
most efficient model and agreed
on the need to establish a new
organization best suited to help
established foundation partners
Remembering John "Junior"
Powell is so easy because rarely
has there been such a bowling
man for all seasons.
He was a battle hardened
combat marine before he was
old enough to vote and later he
combined that hard earned
toughness with the love of life,
people, and bowling that only
ended when he was 84.
A top bowler who loved com-
petitive action in any form,
whether he was betting a dinner
on the outcome of a bowling
match, the run of one of his
race horses, the prospects of a
new product or business ven-
ture including many bowling
centers, he was a delight to
know.
You always knew he was there
because he wasn't bashful when
he had an opinion---and he
always had an opinion.
Powell was a pioneer in many
bowling efforts, starting with
his rating as one of the best
scorers in the game, then as
solid leader of the Fort Worth
Panthers in the shaky National
Bowling League, on to one of
the most innovative tourna-
ment creators and operators, a
bowling pro shop owner when
there were few pros in the field,
and an unmatched booster of
worthy, new bowling products.
"I can sell a dozen of any-
thing." Junior once told me. He
got no argument from me
because he kept proving it.
Later he got into the big, big
time of business interests such
He was the first to offer his
talent and treasure to any wor-
thy bowling cause—institution-
al or personal.
At one time Powell was one of
the keen minds who helped
design a plan whereby the PBA
would build bowling complexes
in each of the PBA's then seven
regions. Each would contains a
bowling tournament section
that also could be used for reg-
ular open play, clinics, seminars
and constructed to perfectly
house TV and other media and
communications.
The complex would also
include up to date pro shops,
restaurants and possibly space
for other entertainments and
business. And most of the posi-
tions could be filled by the then
current or former bowling pros,
giving them more opportunities
than ever before.
Unfortunately, a law suit filed
by some of the players put a
halt to the plans and a revival
time never came again, but
Powell's .effort and genius was
evident to all.
One of his greatest personal
moments came when he was
elected to the American
Bowling Congress Hall of
Fame. It was one of the most
well deserved selections and
one of the most appreciated by
any recipient of the honor.
He long was an avid support-
er of the Hall and its members,
many of them close friends and
attended all Hall functions until
he became too ill to do so.
