After reading the interview, I retained a great deal of info just based on the first few paragraphs. The number of people that have participated in bowling is more than I ever expected. 72 millions Americans have bowled in their local communities whether it be in friendly games or serious leagues. One fact that interested me was the automatic pinsetter, which must have been a huge deal in that time period when it came to technological advancements.
As I began reading the section titled " Hanover Gems", the description "a sea of people" told me just how many people were bowling that night. Their were kids of all ages at the bowling alley that night, either at the arcade, doing their homework like one of the girls, or running around socializing with the other children. Some females in the league were described to be in their late sixties and have been bowling since high school, which is very impressive in my opinion. I suppose if you like an activity this much and always get to socialize with your friends then why stop? The men's league however is very different from that of the woman's. Men are very aggressive when it comes to sports, especially in an older bowling league such as this one.
