Didn't Baltimore host one year many many many years ago?
Yes back in 82. It was my first year in adult leagues, and I had no idea how to register to bowl in it, I wish I had though. Information wasn't as readily available back then.

CoachJim, that's because Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.

HAHAHAHA
In '82 I was in Okinawa, my dad was stationed there in the army, and I wasn't the least bit interested in bowling. I actually started bowling about 10 years ago. Kinda wish I had gotten into when my dad was doing it so I could have bowled with him. While my dad was bowling, I think his hi set was like 580 something. That would be a bad night for me. After I shot my 2nd 300 I gave him my first 300 ring.

Some of my fondest memories are of bowling with my Dad. Glad you guys had the same fun times. Those were great times.
My son won't be able to say that. As, I quit bowling when he was born, and returned when he was out of the house and age 24. Oh, we have bowled a couple of times together, but it was not the same.

I wish I could have bowled with my dad. He came in a few times to watch me bowl during leagues. He would also be the one I would call when I would shoot 300 or 800. I miss my dad too

Wow, awesome memories there.
Unfortunately I don't have any family background in bowling (I'm the first in my extended family to take it up). But if I have any children I can look forward to bowling with them someday.

Dennis, Corpus Christi was the most fun I have had at Nationals. If it ever goes back to Montana I will not be going. The steaks @ Billings were the best. Not much else to recommend the place, though.
