OK, Mr. President. You think your pitiful bowling skills are something you'd see at the Special Olympics?
An Ann Arbor man has a challenge for you.
"Bring it on, Obama!" says Kolan McConiughey, who is proud of the six Special Olympics bowling medals he's won as well as the fact that
he's bowled five perfect games. "I challenge him! I'll show him how to do it."
McConiughey, who was born cognitively impaired, was profiled in The Ann Arbor News on his 35th birthday on Christmas Day. SInce then, his story has been picked up in other news media.
As the media descended on him Friday morning at his favorite bowling alley - Colonial Lanes Bowling Center - McConiughey switched from his denim Busch's shirt to one from the Special Olympics, then donned a couple medals, took out his bowling ball and walked to a lane.
