Seniors dive into pool at Iowa City center
A group of five senior women meets every Friday at the Iowa City Johnson County Senior Center basement for two hours of eight ball play. Irene Bowers 85 Pat Ephgrave 77 Ila Loewenberg 76 Betty Norbeck 71 and Jean Reese 70 share cues and jokes, playing for fun rather than competition. Bowers started at 82 and quickly learned, often beating male players. The group emphasizes camaraderie, socializing, and laughter over tournaments or leagues.
