That's a great story, finishing Ironman!

My first paying job was keeping score for developmentally disabled kids at King Louie Plaza. I did that when I was in grade school, back in the mid-70s. I would get two free games of bowling for keeping score when they had their league. Those kids were so great to be around. Some of them were great bowlers, others had trouble getting the ball all the way down the alley, but they were all interesting and loving and fun to be with.
