ANDREA MATHEWS BOWLING HONOR

(Here is an email message I received Nov 18, 2011 from Craig Mathews, Pow Wow class rep for the class of '67. He and his wife volunteer to take pictures at the Pow Wow luncheons. Congrats to Andrea.)

I am proud to announce that Andrea is the Missouri State Bowling Assn 2012 Hall of Fame inductee for Meritorious Service.
She will be inducted into the Hall on June 2, 2012 at Tan-Tar-A Resort in Osage Beach, MO at the State Awards Banquet.
Andrea had no idea that I put her name in nor that she was picked until it was announced at her traveling league yesterday. I was lucky enough to capture her reaction to the news.
Comments she made, "What? What? Oh no! Oh no!" Have no clue on the "Oh no" comment.
Needless to say, she was surprised and very honored.
Included is the picture sent to state for their program.
