Shirley was born in St. Cloud, MN., she was one of seven children having four sisters and two brothers.
Shirley began to bowl at the wee age of five (5) with her father who loved to bowl. Now we know where her passion for bowling began. In her younger days Shirley then known as S.O.S. was one terrific bowler, back when the conditions were tough and a hard rubber ball was the ball of choice. Bowling was Shirley’s life and she was very, very good at it.
Then one day she had an accident fell and broke her ankle, she was devastated, but knowing Shirley she was determined to get back to the lanes and it wasn’t long before she was back with renewed enthusiasm.
Shirley bowled in fifty (50) WIBC Championship Tournaments, five (5) USBC Championship Tournaments and thirty (30) plus State Tournaments. If there was a tournament being held you could be sure Shirley would be there to participate. She was a National member of the 700 club and a National, State and local 600 clubs member.
She served on the California Women’s Bowling State Association as a director and the local San Diego Women’s Bowling Association & USBC Association as a director. She was honored by the San Diego Women’s Bowling Association and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. She received the Connie Bechtel Award and the Southern California Hall of Fame Award. She was a permanent member of the WIBC & USBC Associations.
Shirley loved rules, bylaws and legislation, that got her interested in parliamentary law, she studied and studied, took the Parliamentary Law test and became a certified Parliamentarian. She served many organizations with her expertise as a parliamentarian.
Shirley had three (3) children 2 daughters and one son. She had 6 Grandchildren and 7 Great grand children. Her younger daughter Reen was the best bowler of the siblings, but she had to give up bowling due to a knee injury. Reen always remarked her mother would pass away with a bowling ball in her hands.
Shirley will be missed by many, and when you see the color purple think of Shirley. Her love of the game will live on forever.

MEMBER SUSPENSION CLARIFICATION:
During the discussion at the Jamboree presentation last week, the topic of suspension of a member for non-payment of honor score rings was brought up.
If a bowler shoots an honor score and indicates he/she would like to purchase an upgrade, but never pays for any of it, charges are not brought against their membership. They are eligible to receive the standard award if they then choose not to purchase the upgrade.
If a bowler shoots an honor score, indicates he/she would like to purchase an upgrade, pays the down payment, receives the ring, and then does not pay the remaining balance, then charges for membership suspension can be brought upon them. They have agreed upon a payment plan with Keepsake and have then not fulfilled their agreement based upon the contract they signed.
In regards to Keepsake contacting the bowlers for payment, our contract with them says they will call the bowler 3 times and then after the call attempts they will mail a postcard to whomever the award is to be shipped to, so either the member or the local association.

CALIFORNIA USBC SELECTS DUKE 2010 “STAR OF TOMORROW”
Applications were received from some of the “best” of our youth bowlers in California and after the difficult task of lengthy and careful review of the candidate packages, we take great pride in revealing to you….. The “Best of the Best” for our 2010 Star of Tomorrow $1,000 Scholarship Award.
Spencer Jon Dukes, more often referred to by his middle name, is the 17-year old son of Spencer and Sarina Dukes of San Diego. Jon is currently a senior at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. Although Jon’s father has traveled at sea a great deal of the time with the United States Navy, Jon never faltered in his responsibilities to his mother; his 15-year old sister Kimberly; and to himself, to excel beyond his own pre-set boundaries. All through elementary school and high school Jon has made the Academic Honor Roll. From 2004 to present he has received numerous Honors of Excellence in Citizenship, English, Math, Music, Religion, Science, and Spanish as well as an Outstanding Achievement Award in various areas of specific english assignments and has received personally written letters from math teachers complimenting him on being such a wonderful student. At no surprise, Jon maintains a High School GPA of 4.13.
Jon is a member and attends weekly meetings of the school’s Key Club; The PAPIA (Asian Pacific Islander Association); The Science Club; and Jazz Band. He volunteers for the Key Club “Neighborhood Face-Lifts projects; PAPIA’s traditional Filipino and Samoan Dances for Community Events; The Science Club’s Special Events; and community performances by the Jazz Band. Besides being an extraordinary scholar, Jon has become a gifted musician. Since the fifth grade he remained focused on his violin skills. In seventh grade he earned Principle Second Violinist of the Middle School Orchestra and by eighth grade reached his goal as Concertmaster of the Intermediate Orchestra. Jon has participated in the local Honor Orchestra for five years and performed with them at the Copley Symphony Hall in San Diego. Jon’s goal while in high school... to become Concertmaster. All through high school he practiced day and night and it paid off, he is currently First Chair of Violins for his school’s Symphony Orchestra. In numerous competitions he has received no less than a Superior or Gold rating.
Jon bowled his first game at age seven and he knew on that first day that he wanted to pursue bowling at a higher level. He became a youth league bowler at age eight and as years went by, he began participating in more and more tournaments. He got his first taste of victory with a third place finish in a local Junior Bowler’s Tour Tournament. From that point on, he was hooked. He lived, slept, and ate bowling at that point in his life. Although Jon is primarily a self-taught bowler, he has been receiving occasional coaching the last couple of years from Barry Brown, Youth Coach at Admiral Robinson Bowling and Recreation Center. In 2007 Jon received a $400 Scholarship and a Trophy for a 1st Place finish in the 13th Junior World Team Challenge. He finished the 2008-09 season with a 204 average, an 824 high series and a 300 game. He currently carries a 196 and 220 in his two leagues and strives to protect his Title of 1st place in the Junior Masters Bowling League for the past four seasons. Jon also just shot his second 300 game on February 20. Jon has supported the SDUSBC tournament events and of recent, came away the winner of his division in their BVL Tournament finals. In all, he has built up over $3,000 in Scholarships from his tournament wins.
Not only does Jon set a wonderful example in his pursuit of being a better bowler, he has been a role model for the younger youth bowlers. He is a member of the San Diego USBC, attending the monthly meetings, and often presenting his ideas on fundraising events and how to make the Youth Bowling more fun. He authored some rule changes for the SDUSBC Youth All-Star Team; and has represented SDUSBC at our California USBC Annual Meetings. Jon is always one of those who volunteers to “go caroling” at the local V.A. Hospital at Christmas time. Not only has he volunteered to be the captain of his team in the Admiral Robinson World Team Challenge the past three years, he arrives early to league play to pass out recaps and league sheets, and he volunteers an average of 45 minutes each week coaching the younger youth bowlers during league play. Since age five. Jon has kept himself mentally and physically fit through his involvement with martial arts. He has the ranking of Third Degree Black-Belt. He serves the Martial Arts Club as Historian and has always lived by the organization’s theory of “living with morality and honor“. Adding to his versatility in accomplishments, Jon is a CPR Certified and has a California Driver’s License for over a year and proudly has a clean record of no citations or accidents.
With the continued loving support of his immediate and extended family members, Jon has his goals set on becoming a Martial Arts Instructor; maintaining the position as Concertmaster and…earning the title as a Professional Bowler. The formal presentation of awards to the wonderful “Star” will take place at our California USBC Annual Meeting, Sunday, June 13th at the Fremont Marriott-Silicon Valley in Fremont.

He served on the Hall of Fame committee, as secretary for over ten years. He was always willing to lend a hand and even get down and dirty to assist on the lane certification committee each year, and we always did that job before the sun came up. Ole went through the chairs of the SDBA and served as President in 1989-90. As President of the California State Seniors Organization, many saw the organization grow under his guidence and influence. He received many awards for his dedication to the game of bowling, the following are just a few that he received. He was inducted into the SDBA Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service in 1992, inducted into the State Seniors Hall of Fame in 1993, received a 25 year plaque from the ABC for attendance in the National Tournaments , in 1996 Ole received the Ray Hanley Award for dedication to the game of bowling from the Southern California Bowling Writers.
