“Following in the footsteps
before me, of many of you, it has
long been a goal of mine to make
the USBC Hall of Fame through
USBC accomplishments. And I
like to think I’m not done yet.”
Koivuniemi, 52, currently lives
in the United Arab Emirates and
has coached the UAE national
team since 2015. He joined the
PBA Tour at age 32, earning the
first two of his 14 career PBA
titles in major events – the 2000
USBC Masters and the 2001 U.S.
Open – to earn the nickname
Major Mika.
He captured a third major at the
2011 PBA Tournament of
Champions and was a two-time
PBA Player of the Year (2003-
2004, 2010-2011). He was induct-
ed into the PBA Hall of Fame ear-
lier this year.
“What a year 2019 has been for
me, making two big hall of fames
in the same year,” Koivuniemi
said. “There are so many people
throughout the world who have
helped me. I still remember my
first (USBC) Open
Championships in Reno in 1995 at
the new stadium. It was something
to see how it ran so smoothly with
so many bowlers. I remember my
first Masters and U.S. Open in
1996 – great memories and experi-
ences – and then being lucky
enough to win both of them as my
first two titles.”
Kulick, 42, made history in 2010
when she captured the PBA
Tournament of Champions title,
becoming the first woman to win a
PBA Tour event. She captured
Professional Women’s Bowling
Association (PWBA) Rookie of
the Year honors in 2000 and won
the first of her six major titles at
the 2003 U.S. Women's Open.
She is a 15-time Team USA
member and her international
resume includes a then-record per-
formance in winning gold in sin-
gles at the 1999 World Bowling
World Championships, the first of
her 22 career gold medals.
“To witness the people walking
through that door earlier, the hall
of famers and everyone here … I
just thankful for this moment,”
Kulick said. “I learned a lot from
my elders, but since commentat-
ing on the youth and collegiate
events, it’s the youth who inspire
me to pave the way for future gen-
erations.”
She also referenced a former
Team USA teammate about what
USBC

reaching the hall of fame means to
her future on the lanes.
“Liz Johnson sat up here a few
years ago and said just because
she’s in the hall of fame doesn’t
mean she’s done,” Kulick said.
“Me, too. I am not done.”
St. John, who served in the Navy
for nine years before turning to
bowling full time, won six titles
on the PBA Tour from 1963-1969
and captured a USBC Open
Championships Classic Team title
in 1964. He died on Jan. 11, 1987.
His most dominating perform-
ance came at the 1963 World
Invitational, one of the most pres-
tigious tournaments in bowling,
that took place in Chicago. St.
John set 12 tournament records,
tied two others, and posted the
only 300 game over the course of
the 11-day tournament. He suc-
cessfully defended his title at the
1964 event.
Members of St. John’s family
were unable to attend the induc-
tion ceremony, but his daughter,
Karen Hayward, relayed a mes-
sage from the family, including
her mom, Delores, and her broth-
er, Ron.
“My family and I would like to
thank the USBC Hall of Fame
committee for recognizing my
father in the Veterans category,”
Hayward said in her letter. “When
my brother and I were very small,
we would travel around the U.S.
with our parents to all of the bowl-
ing tournaments. … I also enjoyed
watching my dad and the other
bowlers on the Falstaff bowling
team. They did a lot of trick bowl-
ing. I haven’t seen anything like it
since. My family and I have a lot
of wonderful memories of our
bowling family. Thank you again
to the USBC and everyone
involved.”
Lichstein, 69, who was elected
to the PBA Hall of Fame in 1996
in the Meritorious Service
Category, made his mark as the
long-time director of player serv-
ices for the PBA. He started his
PBA career as a bowler in 1969,
becoming the youngest PBA
Rookie of the Year at the time of
his selection, and won his lone
PBA title at the San Jose Open in
1970.
In May 1974, Lichstein changed
career paths, and for more than 22
years, would serve as the PBA
Director of Player Services, where
he equipped, fit, maintained and
served up to 300 PBA Tour
bowlers each week. He also owns
two Open Championships titles,
winning Classic All-Events in
1969 and Classic Team in 1970.
“When I got the call, Nov. 2
(from USBC President Karl
Kielich), that was my son’s 50th
birthday,” Lichstein said. “It was a
tough day, I cried a lot, because I
love the sport and I couldn’t
believe it was happening. I really
thought it wasn’t true, but he final-
ly convinced me it was. This is
really such a special day for me.”
Davis, who passed away on Jan.
25, 2013, at age 64, started Kegel
in 1981 on the heels of developing
The Key™ Lane Cleaning Tool,
which provided bowling centers a
better and more economical way
to clean lanes. With a goal of mak-
ing “two lanes play the same,” he
became a leading innovator and
expert in the field of lane mainte-
nance throughout a career that had
a major impact in the sport.
In addition to the lane machines,
conditioners, cleaners and other
items he developed, he opened the
Kegel Training Center in 1997,
moving it to its current location in
Lake Wales, Florida, in 2003, to
give bowlers and coaches the lat-
est technological advances to take
their knowledge to the next level.
His last invention was the Kegel
LaneMapper, which measures lane
topography.
“My father was a very humble
man,” said Davis’ son, Chris. “He
didn’t care about the rewards, the
awards, he just wanted to fix
bowling. He accomplished so
much over the years. He was truly
a family man and loved the sport
of bowling. … What a life, what a
life. What a great honor this is.”
His brother, Mark Davis added,
May 29 - June 4, 2019
“John had a passion for servicing
the bowling industry. He spent
much of his time on the phone
with people all over the world, dis-
cussing the game and all aspects
of it. He would call people out of
the blue and talk to them for hours
about nothing but bowling. I don’t
doubt that some of those people
are in the room now.”
Johnson, 61, of Las Vegas, has
been at the forefront of telling
bowling’s stories for nearly five
decades. He has been honored
with 75 national writing awards
for his work covering the sport
and industry and has served on the
USBC Hall of Fame committee
since its formation.
In 2009, Johnson was selected as
the Bowling Writers Association
of America (now International
Bowling Media Association) Luby
Hall of Fame Award winner and
was inducted into the PBA Hall of
Fame earlier this year.
“Looking back, I’m grateful for
those tough days because they
forced me to be a better
researcher, a better interviewer
and a better writer,” Johnson said
about his start as a journalist. “I
had to become a better writer to
get more assignments and, over
time, that is what happened.”
The USBC Hall of Fame was
created in 2005 by merging the
former American Bowling
Congress and Women’s
International Bowling Congress
Halls of Fame.
With the induction of the seven-
member class of 2019, there are
432 members of the USBC Hall of
Fame – 223 in Superior
Performance, 120 in Meritorious
Service, 51 in Veterans, 22 in
Pioneers and 16 in Outstanding
USBC Performance.

The 1987 Bowling Digest
Rookie of the Year, when she won
three titles, Hulsenberg became
the first bowler to capture back-to-
back PWBA Player of the Year
honors in 1990 and 1991. She was
selected to the Bowlers Journal
International All-American Team
18 times, including 12 selections
to the first team, and was named
Women’s Pro Bowler of the Year
three times (1990, 1991, 2002) by
Bowling Digest.
She was inducted into the USBC
Hall of Fame in 2008.
“In 1987, my parents took out a
$2,000 loan and gave me their
minivan so I could go out on tour,”
said Hulsenberg, who also rolled a
300 game earlier at the USBC
Women’s Championships. “I won
three titles my first year, paid them
back, and that was the start of my
career. One of the reasons I want-
ed to be part of the PWBA when it
came back was not just because I
love bowling, but because I
believe young people need role
models, since I had so many great
ones when I started my career. My
wish for all of the PWBA mem-
bers of this era is that you have the
opportunity to do what I did for so
long and make as many memories
as I have along the way.”
Macpherson won the first of her
20 PWBA titles in 1986, capturing
the U.S. Women’s Open as an 18-
year-old high school senior to
become the youngest bowler to
win the event. She joined the pro
tour that summer, taking PWBA
Rookie of the Year honors, and
won five more majors in her
career – three USBC Queens
(1988, 2000, 2003) and two Sam’s
Town Invitational (1990, 1999)
titles. She is one of only two play-
ers, along with Mildred Ignizio, to
have won the Queens three times.
When she won the Sam’s Town
Invitational title in 1990 at age 22,
Macpherson became the youngest
winner of the triple crown. She
was named PWBA Player of the
Year four times over a five-year
stretch from 1996-2000 and was

TEAM USA'S TANG EARNS MASTERS BRONZE
AT 2019 PABCON MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS
LIMA, Peru - Darren Tang's week at the 2019 Pan American Bowling Confederation
Men's Championships might've ended one match sooner than he'd hoped, but over-
all, he's leaving Peru very satisfied with his Team USA debut.
Tang was one of five players from the United States to advance to the tournament-
ending Masters event, which included the top 16 players from the all-events stand-
ings, based on their 24-game pinfall totals at the new Bowling Center of La Villa
Deportiva Nacional (VIDENA).
The 25-year-old right-hander's run at Masters gold came to an end in the semifi-
nals, where he fell to Puerto Rico's Cristian Azcona, 2-1 (207-232, 228-226, 228-
208), in the best-of-three match. Tang earned a bronze medal for his performance to
go along with a team gold medal and silver medals in singles and all-events.
"Overall, I thought it was a great week," Tang said. "For my first time, I didn't real-
ly know what to expect. Obviously, our goal was to win gold medals. We accom-
plished that, which is awesome. We also picked up information every time we
bowled and did a little better each time. Ultimately, we came away with a pretty
good haul, and it was an amazing opportunity to be here representing our country."

QUICK NOTES
• Sneaking in under the radar, Part I: PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber late in the 2018 season
became the second player in PBA history to surpass $4 million in combined PBA career earn-
ings. Walter Ray Williams Jr. remains the all-time PBA earnings leader. He currently stands at
$4,794,859.
• Sneaking in under the radar, Part II: Bill O’Neill is the 44th member of the PBA
Millionaires Club. He surpassed the career milestone with his fourth-place finish in the PBA
World Championship, which was his 226th career PBA Tour tournament. That put him in a tie
for third place for earning $1 million in the fewest number of tournaments with Tommy Jones.
O’Neill’s long-time doubles partner, Jason Belmonte, set the standard by reaching the million-
dollar milestone in 131 tournaments. The runner-up is Chris Barnes who hit the milestone in
220 events.
• PBA Hall of Famers Chris Barnes, Mika Koivuniemi, Jim St. John, meritorious service hon-
orees Bob Johnson and Larry Lichstein, and the only woman ever to win a PBA major title –
Kelly Kulick – was inducted into the United States Bowling Congress Hall of Fame along with
the late Kegel founder John Davis during the USBC Annual Meeting on Wednesday, May 1, at
The Orleans in Las Vegas.
