Question
i'm doing good. i live in peru,in with my wife and 3 kids.I have worked for the indiana dept. corrections for the past 15 years. I stoped bowling about 10-12 years ago just got burned out. I still follow the tour and see how steelsmith is doing.My oldest son just started bowling this year. He's nine and after the 1st week his ave. was 43. Now he is up to a 54 soit's pretty good. The center here in town is needing a proshop person so i applied for it. I told them it's been a few years but i think i can still do a ball here and there. Well it sounds like your doing pretty good and staying busy. Well it was good to hear from you -------------------------

i was just wondering if this was the same chip aki that was at vincennes when i was there from 1984-1987
Answer -
Yes, it is me.  Or the nightmare to end all nightmares, there are two of me :)

How have you been and where are you now?  I have moved around quite a bit since VU.  I spent time in Evansville, Salt Lake, Baton Rouge, Lexington, Detroit, New Orleans, and now back in Lexington KY.

Where are you now and what have you been up too?  Still bowl any?

Answer
It seems like things worked out well for you.

My 2 boys live with their mom in Evansville and the 13 year old is averaging around 180.  Now he bugs me for bowling balls :)

I have been married to Robin since 2002 and have been with her since 2000.  She was the reason I moved to Detroit.  She has one son and he still lives in Detroit.  He is 24.
She helps out in the shop and is also a bookkeeper at the other center this company owns.  Pretty cool to have medical benefits and a retirment program for drilling bowling balls.

later,
Chip
