Meritorious service? Are you aware that in 1975, Williams rolled six 300 games in an eight-month span — something that had never been done in sanctioned competition? Or that the next year he set a California full-season average record of 230 for 75 games (as a member of a five-bowler team)? Or that he won the All-America Youth Bowling Championship in 1970? The list of on-the-lanes accomplishments in the Marin County B.A., Central Sonoma County B.A. and Petaluma B.A. goes on… and on.
Bob Warning began bowling as a 12 year old at Sun City Bowl in 1978. He remembers wanting to be a pro bowler since the age of 17. “It was all I ever wanted to do,” said the 33 year USBC member from Menifee.
In 1991 he won the Cal State Masters, beating the likes of Jim Murtishaw, Alvin Lou and Marv Sargent. Nine years later he would join those men in capturing the Cal State Scratch Team Championship. The same team would repeat a year later. Bob also teamed with Marv Sargent in 2000 to win the PBA Regional Doubles in Dublin.Continue reading 2024 HOF SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE RECIPIENT – WARNING→

Donna Adamek lived just a couple of minutes from Columbia Bowl in Duarte and would practice there for hours after her coaching sessions with J.J. Kanakai, Tosh Kinjo and Bobbe North. All that practice led to the Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow Award in 1975, and she soon embarked on a professional career that included 19 career titles in 16 years.
Among those 19 professional titles were five majors — two USBC Queens titles, two U.S. Open titles, and the Sam’s Town Invitational in Las Vegas. Donna also won four titles in the USBC National Championships — the Doubles in 1981 and 1982, and Team titles in 1981 and 1987. She was honored nationally as Bowler of the Year for 4 consecutive years (1978-1981). Continue reading 2024 HOF PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE RECIPIENT – ADAMEK→
