Phil and I decided to buy the spinner and the other equipment for the program out of the camp money. We felt it was giving back to the program. It wasn't something we needed to do. I certainly could have put the money back into the center or Phil and I could have split it for other expenses, but I wanted to help improve our bowlers ability to prepare for competition while they learn more about ball maintenance hands on.
The spinner belongs to the bowlers in the program as a gift from us. The cost was $652.00 for spinner, ball knives, hand bevel sander and other assorted items.
So, as a group and especially the men, I am deeply disappointed by your lack of appreciation and immaturity to leave this equipment behind for the second time in two years. I personally feel betrayed and insulted since it was I who bought the equipment in the first place. I will try to get the spinner back, but as of now the next time Purdue bowls the same tournament as us is Matchgames, so it may be a month. It may be not at all. Frankly, I don't feel it's my responsibility, but I'll do the best I can.

Thanks to the Sherman family, especially Tracey, the spinner has been safely returned. We owe them a special thanks.
I hope we can take better care of it in the future.
