[il-talk] Making the Team

This is great news for Mark.  Hopefully, he will do well.  Whatever happens,
he has already proven that blind people can compete when given the chance to
do so.

Hello all,
 
I want to share some good news regarding a Blackhawk Chapter  member...
 
Mark Clayburne, Jr., a sophomore at Bettendorf High School, tried  out for
the bowling team and was selected to represent the school at its  meets.  
The first meet was held last evening in which Bettendorf won!   Mark earned 
his spot on the team -- he wasn't given any special treatment.   His good 
sportsmanship, friendliness, respect for others, and bowling ability  are
what the coach took into consideration when he chose Mark.  Blindness  was
no factor in the decision.  We're proud of you, Mark!  Strike on  out!
 
Lois Montgomery
