I am able bodied but I do know that thalidomide was a totally 
preventable and horrific limb deformity birth defect. I find being 
asked to bowl while missing fingers incredibly harsh and cruel. Had 
the company said come and join us for the fun, keep score, drink some 
beer, and root for the team that would be different. Or if they 
leveled the playing field by taping the other members fingers 
together and then seeing who was really last that would be ok with me 
too. Case does go bowling and they have a metal contraption that he 
sets the ball in and it automatically rolls down the lane. If she had 
used that that might be ok as well. Where is the sense of fairness in 
this? Don't people use handicapping in golf etc to even the playing field.
