Weston Trust included a significant contribution to the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame. IBMHF officials had no prior knowledge that the donation had been included in the will of Weston, a Detroit-area bowler whose bowling career achieved international prominence in the 1960s. “This is not the first surprise gift like this, but it is the largest,” said IBMHF Executive Director Gerald W.
