The Owners' Manual | Issue 15 | Spring 2019

What did we win? R-E-S-P-E-C-T, or perhaps ire and envy. The BL team continued its 3-year winning streak at the AIA Bowling Invitational, beating 25 or so 6-person teams from other firms for the highest team score. A few of us rode on the shoulders of team stalwarts Dan Turner with a 244, and Mike Gagnon and Shawn Poulin who both rolled 178s, but hey, teamwork is a core competency, right? As if that wasn’t enough Dan Turner also won highest overall score by pummeling all other bowlers. It took Dan a few frames to warm up, but he brought the heat, laying down 12 straight strikes spanning from the first to the second game. Yup, that would have been enough for a perfect game had it started in the first frame. What services will we be providing? Let’s just say the other teams were “served”. Who will we be working for? We’re an ESOP. We work for ourselves! Our two teams did a great job of representing BL with fun, enthusiasm, and an iridescent presence. We were easy to spot. Why is this noteworthy? We work hard. It’s nice to know we also find time to play hard. How much is this worth? Are you kidding? Where else are you going to get one of these babies? What is the time frame? Our work is done... until next year ;-)
