I emailed the Pacific Bowler and they do not have a website
But pretty much what it said is we all had a lot of fun and thanked those who came if from out of town to bowl for ST Louis like Throng Princess, Stormerpik and others I can't seem to remember right now.

It also thanks SrKegler and Oli for all the work they done to help John Wonders from Visionary with this Wonderful event.

A special thanks went out to John Wonders and his lovely family for hosting us in St Louis.  The Visionary tour was educational and the time spent with Mr. and Mrs. Wonder memorable.

they also thanked the members of the Detroit Ambassadors who made the trip down to St Louis to bowl with the San Diego Ambassadors against a very tough St Louis team.  We were all winners.

Thanks again everyone.

V/R,
Nicanor

Guess I should pay more atention to this forum.  I own the center that stormerjip bowls at and knew nothing of the gathering.  I would have loved to come and meet some of you.  Am I reading between the lines and assuming the Visionary plant is near St. Louis?

Barry, if possible could you send a copy to us?  I would love to give it to John Wonders and OLI.  They're the ones that really did all the work setting it up.  Sure glad you enjoyed your trip.  We sure enjoyed having your group and the Group from Detroit in town.  Got a chance to meet a great group of guys.

Yes, Visionary is in St Louis, not downtown, but in St Louis.  John Wonders was the founder of Faball (sp) before he sold the name/rights.  When we pulled up to the factory, Faball was still the sign on the gigantic brick building.  Didn't see Visionay anywhere.  I'm sure someone will help me with th Faball history, but it wasn't orginally Hammer, I believe.

I will send out some Pacific bowlers Srkegler, please send me your address again.

Yes, TP was the one from LA.  Now Srkegler has some competition on "Have balls will travel"  TP goes everywhere with her balls  I mean bowling balls.
