Typhoid Harry 23 Posted February 14, 2005 Bowling Great Dick Weber Dies By Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Dick Weber, one of bowling's first national stars and a three-time bowler of the year, died Sunday night. He was 75. Weber died in his sleep at his home in the St. Louis area, said Steve James, retired executive director of the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. A cause of death was not immediately known. Weber had just returned from the opening of the congress' championships in Baton Rouge, La. James said he spent Sunday morning with Weber, who gave no indication he was ill. "He was a lot bigger than the tour," James said. "He was probably the best-known bowler worldwide." Weber was one of bowling's first national TV stars, at a time when ABC broadcast bowling events on Saturday afternoons. He initially drew attention as a member of the Budweisers, a five-member St. Louis bowling team that held the record for highest team score for more than three decades. In 1958, he was a founding member of the Professional Bowlers Association, and he went on to win 26 PBA Tour events and six Senior Tour events. He was national bowler of the year three times, in 1961, 1963 and 1965. His son, Pete, is second on the career PBA money list. Both father and son are members of the PBA Hall of Fame. Dick Weber was also a member of the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted February 17, 2005 Ex-Spurs captain Ronnie Burgess dies Ronnie Burgess played in the same excellent Tottenham Hotspur team as the recently departed Bill Nicholson and Alf Ramsey. They of course went on to manage the best club side to play English football (Tottenham Hotspur 1960-61, according to ex- Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson and my Dad anyway), and the best English national side (England 1966) respectively.

Isn't "excellent Tottenham Hostpur team" an oxymoron? Apologies if you've heard this before.... A Spurs supporter walked past a video shop and sees a poster announcing a video for sale "Tottenham - the golden years". As a supporter, he rushed in to buy a copy and was told it'd cost £300. When he asked why it was so much, he was told that it also comes with a Betamax player to watch it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,904 Posted February 19, 2005 Friday, February 18, 2005 Posted: 10:08 AM EST (1508 GMT) MARINA DEL REY, California (AP) -- Samuel W. Alderson, the inventor of crash test dummies that are used to make cars, parachutes and other devices safer, has died. He was 90. Alderson died February 11 at home of complications from myelofibrosis, a bone marrow disorder, his son Jeremy said. He grew up tinkering in his father's custom sheet-metal shop, worked on various military technology and by 1952 had formed Alderson Research Labs. The company made anthropomorphic dummies for use by the military and NASA in testing ejection seats and parachutes. The dummies were built to approximate the weight and density of humans and hold data-gathering instruments. One type of dummy he developed measured radiation doses. There was little interest in his first automobile test dummy, he once said, until publication of Ralph Nader's consumer protection book "Unsafe at Any Speed" in 1965. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act was passed a year later. Before creating dummies, he worked on missile guidance systems and helped develop a coating to enhance vision on submarine periscopes during World War II. He left his original company in 1973 to form a competing crash test dummy maker, and the two companies were dominant in the market until eventually merging in 1990 to form First Technology Safety Systems. In addition to son Jeremy, he is survived by another son, a sister and four grandchildren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
