The Bowling Alley
Ken’s Story
My bowling team (the OK Rubber Welders ) won the Midnight League championship in 1962. Janice’s bowling team also won their league championship for the ‘61-’62 season.
Sam’s Version
Ah, yes, the Auburn Bowling Center - six lanes, no waiting. Back in those analogue days, keeping score while your parents bowled was a great exercise in mental math.
I’m pretty sure I saw the Wizard of Oz for the very first time there one Sunday when Mom was bowling.
