Quotes about Angela from members of the league:

"AB holds the #1 spot on e-v-e-r-y single individual record for women and was the mad scientist behind forming the very first VML bowling league back in the Spring of 2000. If not for her, none of us would equate Tuesday nights with bowling. For that, I thank her dearly."

"A key founder; without her the league probably would not have been a recurring thing. Also tops every category among female bowlers."

"Consistently one of the highest averaged bowlers in our league and always the highest woman bowler. A bowler who comes through in the clutch."

And from the inductee herself...

1. What is your personal favorite memory from all your years in the league?

There are so many. Beating Ken is always a favorite, although it hardly happens. Although one that stands out was when I actually bowled with Ken, Deena and Janelle. The Blueballers was our name, and I think we won the league by a large margin. All of my teams have been a lot of fun, but my all time favorite team was Recreation Intoxication which was made up of Pat, Bob, Deena and me. I’ve never laughed and joked around so much on the lanes…but the amazing part was we would actually win while doing it!

2. What is it about this league that continued to bring you back season after season?

I get to bowl with my family. All I need is my dad to join the league and I would see them all every week! I also enjoy getting to see other VMLers outside the office. You get to see a whole new side of them, except for Heistand, he’s so laid back outside the office.

3. What does it mean for you to be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

It means that Ken did a great job rallying for it! It means that I’ll be remembered as being part of starting this darn league when it was just four ladies from accounting that formed a team and joined a league. Then we moved to three teams that joined a league. The first official VML league I think was six or eight teams of 2 and it grew from there. We sometimes have a hard time fielding a league, but it’s great seeing all the new people join in our fun!
