Bowl Full Of Miracles Shrine Bowl by

Walter J. Klein's credentials begin with his professional
writing for publication since 1937, when he was 14, the year
the Shrine Bowl originated.
His previous books include The Sponsored Film about
his industry and The Unwanted about human weeds. He
has written countless articles for public and professional
journals on subjects ranging from film production to
Biblical gardens. He also authors 15 motion picture
scenarios each year.
When the Shrine Bowl officials asked him to write
Bowl Full of Miracles, he was delighted to accept the
honor and would not accept pay. For he had been working for
the Shrine Bowl since 1956, two years before he became a
Mason and a Shriner, writing and producing Shrine
films--also without charge.
In those 30years Klein served the Shrine Bowl as its public
relations director, audio-visual director, and program
editor.
He is a life member of Oasis Temple, a Jester,
recipient of the Walt Disney award, member of the Scottish
Rite and Excelsior Lodge Number 261. He is especially proud
of having two blue lodge past members as executives in his
business--David Jordan of Phalanx and his son Richard Klein
of Excelsior.
