Summary:File has been tending bar at the Eleventh Frame Lounge for 30 years. [Sharon] said, "I've seen bowlers grow up, get married, have kids, and even grandkids. I've worked with young men at the snack bar like Jeff Lyons, Joe and Jason Kellems, Mark Head, [Gene Flick] and Scott Flick, and Jim Koewler. All of these young men have gone on to be very successful." "When [Ray Clark] opened the Eleventh Frame, he started giving away a bottle of champagne for every 300 game bowled. Dave King has carried on that tradition today, even though there are a lot more 300's than there used to be. If I'm not busy, you'll find me watching the bowlers and laughing at their reactions. Even though bowlers are bowling more 300 games today, they still get mad. I've seen them kick the walls, the ball returns, and I've seen three or four break their hands punching the wall." Said Lyons: "We all called Sharon, `Mom.' You wouldn't know it to look at Sharon, but she ran a tight ship, although she always looked after us in the snack bar and made it a neat place to work."
