Alpha Weirick (R) shows good form as she releases her ball, while longtime friend Edna Evers (L) watches the path of her ball. Weirick and Evers met at Gilliam Lanes Friday afternoon for a surprise birthday party for Weirick and fellow bowler Eva Sullivan. Weirick, 93, carries a 140 average and claims she'll never die, she'll just roll away. Weirick and Evers, 86, have been friends for more than 65 years, getting to know each other through, you guessed it, bowling. Weirick has bowled for 75 years. Weirick says that while Pearl Harbor was being bombed in 1941, she and Evers were bowling. Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union
