Don Gillis is like the Bob Barker of MC'ing. God rest Don's soul. Now, he can MC the departed bowlers such as Tom Morgan, Stacia C and all the others up above

He really has a powerful announcer voice. Hard to believe he didn't move on to something bigger than local bowling tournaments, but I guess that he did what heloved.
Oh and by the way Wolfman, you might want to remember once again that this is 2008... >_>
