Today was an amazing day for my family !! My father in law Ray Eddy Jr was inducted to the Saginaw Bowling hall of fame. To many that may not seem like much, but to our family it is a huge honor .Bowling is something that kind of runs in the blood. If you are from Saginaw and you are familiar with bowling Eddy would be a name that you would recognize. They have been some of the top bowler in the area for years, generation after generation.
Not only is it an honor to been inducted, but knowing that you were nominated by your peers and members of the bowling community. Being recognized over the years for all of your many accomplishment and achievements. I mean what an honor! This is even more special for other reasons. Back in 1999 my father in laws dad was also inducted in the fall of fame. He passed away in 1976 so it was an honor for my father in law to stand up and accept that award in honor of his father and now he was honored with an award of his own.
My father in law not only gets to enjoy his own accomplishment but he also gets to share and enjoy the accomplishment of his children and grandchildren as they are all bowlers as well. His son my husband is also one of the best bowlers in the area and hopefully will be able to share the same award as his dad and grandfather in the future. Our son is also bowler and also hopes to oneday share the honor with his grandfather and great grandfather It awesome to sit back and watch and enjoy all the generations of up and coming Eddy family bowlers.
Some people hope that their kids will one day grow up to be a basketball player or a football player. Not us !! My family has found their awesome skill and I think that is what we will stick with for now and in the future. Be prepared because the Eddy name will be around for years to come.
