Lawrence’s Bob Glass is headed to the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Fame.

Glass, a dominant player during a 10-year career on the PBA50 Tour, will join the Hall after induction ceremonies on Feb. 10, 2015, in Indianapolis. He’ll be joined by former Microsoft executive Chris Peters, who played a key role as a new owner in reviving the PBA, and Barb Wilt, the longest-tenured employee in PBA history.

Glass was elected in the PBA50 Performance category. Peters and Wilt will be recognized in the Meritorious Service category for their extraordinary efforts behind the scenes to advance the PBA.

Glass, one of the first true power players on the PBA50 Tour, competed as a senior between 1997 and 2007, when he won nine titles and finished in the top five 38 times in 78 tournaments, earning just shy of a half-million dollars ($487,215). He won a pair of majors — the 2000 Brunswick PBA Senior Championship and 2001 United States Bowling Congress Seniors Masters — and earned PBA50 Player of the Year honors in 2000, 2001 and 2004.

Glass, who holds a PhD in economics and has a law degree, lives in Lawrence and is Chief of Economics and Rates with the Kansas Corporation Commission in Topeka. He’ll turn 67 on Friday.

“I was really surprised,” Glass said of his election. “I bowled some on the regular tour, and I really only bowled full-time 5 1/2 years on the senior tour. I just feel real lucky. It’s kind of shocking.

“I used to tell people that my game degenerated slower than other people’s because as a senior I was able to beat guys who used to beat me regularly.”
