Back to the Bowling Alley

In the memory of June Bengston, the booster club of the former Anaheim Therapeutic Recreation Center (now Ability First), organized a bowling event. June was a tireless advocate for the developmentally disabled. June passed away last December, and we miss her.

 

We first met June when our son transferred from Maxwell Elementary to Orangeview Junior High. June was a teacher’s aide in one of the two classrooms at Orangeview. June was also volunteering with Special Olympics. She was active in every and any way that advocated for our children. 

 

Today was a happy occasion. Although the event was to have started at 10 a.m., the staff finally got everyone and things going an hour later. The picture above is the group while we were waiting for staff to show up. Fantastic group of bowlers!

 

The best bowler in my humble opinion, of course, is my son. Here I captured him just as his ball will give him a strike. He likes to see those XXXs.
