If you read a few paragraphs from the below story, you will see that it mentions a native Louisvillian - Vinnie Atria. Vinnie graduated from Shawnee High School the same year as me (class of 63), and as I discovered from the article, he later became a very accomplished bowler. I remember bowling a few frames with Vinnie, back in the day, at the West End bowling alley. Even then, it was obvious that Vinnie would progress to the caliber needed to become a pro bowler. Vinnie was always a very good athlete. As I recall, he ran track for Shawnee and did quite well. Perhaps it was in the genes - his uncle was the great Brooklyn Dodger shortstop, Pee Wee Reese.
It was interesting reading about Vinnie. It's probably been forty five years since I first read the news, in the Courier Journal, about his prowess as a bowler. Good to fine out that he succeeded in a very difficult sport to master.
You can learn more about Vinnie Atria's career, on the second link.
