I love the sport of bowling, and have loved it all my life.  I have always been in awe of the talent that the greats have shown us over the years and the incredible professionalism they have displayed.  When I was a child my father used to tell me of the achievements of Marion Ladewig (I hope that's close to the spelling).  These days I can't get over the strides that professional and amature bowlers alike have made to bring this great game to the next generatiion.  In my opinion Diandra has stepped up during a time when womens bowling was kind of pushed aside by the powers that be to bring a wonderful sport to as many young people as possible....and for that I have to applaud her!
