Hall of Fame Inductees
Four Bowlers were inducted into the St. Paul Hall of Fame at the dinner, bringing the overall total to 157 since the first inductees since 1963. Of that total, 84 are deceased.
The new inductees are Paulette Genze and Rich Warren in Superior Performance; Carol Edwards in Meritorious Service and Duanne (Pizza) Perrizo in Pioneers.
There were 30 former inductees present of the 69 living members. Four were unable to come due to illness, five missed for travel reasons and the other 30 were perhaps too lazy or don't care about the honors they received. We hate to say it, but the thirty that didn't attend, missed another good program.
