Diane Twigg Stine began her bowling career at the age of 6 in the early 1960’s, and was a member of the local women’s association for more than 30 years as an adult, bowling on many league championship teams in the 1970’s and 80’s.  On April 28, 1994, in the Career Girls League at Faxon Lanes, Diane became the seventh local female to bowl a 300 game.  With a career high average of 194, achieved in  the late 1990’s, Diane won bowler of the week honors many times.   At the end of the 1996-97 season, she finished second in the Bowler of the Year Tournament.  A regular participant in the local 600 Club sweepers, Diane bowled her 681 career high series in the mid 1990’s.  Stine participated in more than five Women’s International Bowling Association National Championship Tournaments, as well as many State Tournaments and many local City Tournaments, teaming with Sue Whitford to win the handicap Doubles title in the 2006 City Tournament.  Arthritis in her right hand forced Diane to retire from bowling before 2010.

During her career, Diane was an officer in many of the leagues in which she bowled, and served on the women’s association Board of Directors several times.  She once organized and ran a BOWL-A-THON to raise money for the American Business Women’s Association.
