~My Thoughts~

Salt Lake City, Utah

1994

  Bowling has been good to me

Traveling from sea to sea

  Trying to bowl good every day

  Winning, trying to win, along the way

  Meeting World Class Bowlers and trying to win

  Being successful or taking it on the chin

  Standing on the top step to accept the gold

  Or sitting in the audience watching the ceremony unfold

  Some days good, some days so-so

  Some days so high, some days so low

  Through all these ups and downs, bowling has been fun

  From early morning until the setting sun

  Now onto Saint Louis my picture will go

  But here in Salt Lake City, let's get on with the show!
