Bowling night at Corbin Bowl in Tarzana with Anne and Xin Ling Stein (pictured on the left), and three of their friends. Bowling is one of the largest participation activities worldwide. The earliest forms of bowling date back to ancient Egypt, but to date, there are many forms of bowling; in the U.S., the best known is probably ten-pin bowling, both in amateur and professional versions. For nearly a century, ten-pin bowling lanes had a surface made of wood. Beginning about 1980, most ten-pin lane surfaces have been converted to or built with a synthetic material imitating a wooden surface. Photograph dated May 26, 2002.
