Family Comes Before Bowling - bowler Nelson "Bo" Burton Jr

Bowling Digest, August, 2000 by Paul Kreins

Most of Nelson Burton Jr.'s time, however, is spent taking care of his home and his kids. "With three kids at home ..." His voice trails off in rumination. "You know what it's like. This morning I was stripping beds, doing the laundry, doing the grocery list, got the carpet cleaning guy coming in, got to cut the grass, drove my son to school--" Another pause, then a whopper of an understatement: "It fills my time."

He reflects for a moment, then sums it all up. "I'm just a responsible father who has had some really lucky things happen to him. It's just like a big old picnic around here, and I'm just the oldest kid."
