Varsity bowling coach receives thoughtful gift of bowlers’ voices for 65th birthday

When varsity bowling coach Samuel Wood said goodbye to his seniors at his teams end of year award ceremony, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that memorable day, he received a unique 65th birthday group present that was far more personal than any bowling trophy his bowlers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a keepsake CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating bowlers, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and showed him what he had meant to the Cougars.

“I go out there and urge my bowlers to give 200 percent every day. I’ve always focused on the team, and when they gave me this gift it made it clear how much my philosophy meant to them personally”.

The bowlers and their parents wanted to give the coach a memorable present that was very personal. But, with frantic schedules, the bowlers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be simple for everyone to contribute to.

The gift the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.

Team mom, Cheryl Miller, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a memorable birthday gift.

The process is simple: family and friends call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, wish, or story. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. You can download the recordings for free to your computer using iTunes so that you can make your own CD, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.

It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.

“The bowlers and their families that gave me this gift mean a lot to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero”.

If you’d like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a surprise birthday keepsake.
