Your success seems like an awesome life story. I really liked how you won the Maryland Ten Pin Council Scholarship and used it to attend the University of Maryland. Seems like bowling is your life, and your wife is very proud of you! Not only are you an awesome bowler, you're also modest about your excellence. I would definitely like to have even a quarter of what you've accomplished. Keep up the great work and awesome bowling! Congratulations!
LOL!!! Rick, people are still talking about how 'short' you are. I'm sure you're not "THAT" short...and Anthony, that joke about trying to pole vault a curb had me laughing for at least 2 minutes, lol! Humour is another additional bonus quality on top of your bowling greatness, heh

All I know is that if/when you or Ex get reviewed, I strongly protest the word "mini" being used in any shape form, or manner...
