It all started in 1954, in Northern New Your State about two miles from Canada. Ted had recently married and was looking for a winter recreational activity. The choices were limited so he joined the company bowling league. He only averaged 143 that first year but he was hooked. The following season, the league needed a new Secretary and Ted volunteered. Now he was really hooked! This led to six years as Association Manager.
After 25 years of bowling and serving as League Secretary or League President in Maryland, Ted and his wife, Betty, retired to the Grand Strand in 1991. A week after they arrived, Ted was back on the lanes and the following Spring, he was elected Secretary of his league. A position he has held for 30 years. He was soon elected to the Association’s Board of Directors and subsequently served as Association Manager for 6 years. In 2009, Ted was inducted into the Grand Strand Bowling Hall of Fame in the Meritorious Service Category. Although, Ted’s high scores were 286 and 688, he has always admired outstanding bowlers. Over the years, he has successfully nominated 28 bowlers to the Grand Strand Hall of Fame including 21 in the Bowling Achievement Category.
Ted treasures the great friends he has made during his 68 years of bowling. They have deeply enriched his life.
