Wow, here in Korea I don't keep up with bowling news all that much, so I was very surprised to find out that legendary great Dick Weber died not too long ago. I remember seeing him in Great Falls many years ago, perhaps in the mid-60s. He was there for the grand opening of the new Malmstrom AFB lanes, rolling an exhibition game. He started with 10 in a row, getting tapped, as I recall, with a stubborn 10 pin on his 11th shot. This was in the days when 300 games were extremely rare, and it was an electrifying performance! In my opinion, he was the greatest bowler of all, a crowd-pleaser and gentleman. He'll be missed. 
I also see that ABC is now USBC. Any noticeable differences, besides the name change?
Good bowling . . . keep smiling and follow through.
