Great post, as usual. These are names unknown to most bowlers today, and that's unfortunate. Wish there was more on Barry Asher!

Thanks for the upload. I was working the desk at MGM Lanes in Reno during this tournament. Do you happen to have the women's part of the show? I remember Tim Matheson was traveling with Bo to do research on the tour life for his upcoming movie "The Dreamer". One of the worst films ever made, by the way.
