Following is From an interview with Bowling Press Pro (BPP) on August 1, 2001

BPP: You have 31 PWBA titles. You are only bowler (man or woman) to win the Bowling Triple Crown twice. You are the first to reach $1,000,000 in earnings in women's professional bowling. You are a member of the Women's Professional Bowling Hall of Fame, the Michigan Hall of Fame, the Greater Detroit Bowling Hall of Fame, and the youngest to be inducted into Women's International Bowling Congress Hall of Fame. Detroit has just turned 300 years old. In its Tri-Centennial celebration, Detroit is recognizing the Top 10 athletes to come from Detroit. Historians name you, Aleta Sill, among the legendary athletes named to Detroit's "Dream Team." Aleta, you are keeping company with other legends to make the Dream Team, such as boxer Joe Louis, Red Wing's Gordie Howe, Lions Quarterback Bobby Layne and Olympic speed skater triple medallist, Sheila Young. How does this honor rate?

ALETA: "It feels wonderful; it is one of the highest honors I have received in my career."

BPP: What about it is so special?

ALETA: "Well, because the fact that there have been a lot of great bowlers to come of Detroit, and for the historians who researched it to view my career important enough to put me in the category of the Best in sport is what is so special to me."

BPP: Like who?

ALETA: "The likes of Joe Norris, Elvira Toepher, Anita Cantaline, and there are many more."

BPP: Aleta, you are a legend in your own time. You still compete, and in your 21st year of competition, you are still among the Top 24 on the PWBA. How difficult is it to maintain such a staggering level of play?

ALETA: "It is very difficult.

BPP:: Why?

ALETA: "Probably because the game has changed to the point that I have to change a lot of the make up of me. When you do something for 20 years, to do it differently is very hard to do."

BPP: What do you have to change?

ALETA: "To put it simply, my swing plane, release and how I see and play the lane."

BPP: You have so much future ahead of you. What lies ahead for Aleta Sill?

ALETA: "I'm still bowling right now, but I am in the process of developing a coaching program in the Detroit area, with my partner [PWBA Champion] Michelle Mullen. My long term goal is to own a bowling center."

BPP: You are the 1st woman to reach $1,ooo,ooo. What does that mean to you?

ALETA: "It means that all my hard work over the years and dedication to this sport has made me reach a milestone. Because of being the first, nobody can ever take that away. I can always be remembered as the first. People will pass me, because the money has gotten better over the years. But nobody else can say they were the first."
