As hard as it was to say good-bye to someone the local bowling community knew so well, it was also a wonderful time to reflect on how he has influenced so many of us. At his Celebration of Life held last Wednesday at the First Presbyterian Church downtown, it was so touching to see so many bowlers and golfers attend wearing their favorite shirt in honor of Bud. He was involved here with bowling for nearly 60 years. Sandy Gray recalled “Bud managed the Delano Lanes with Jim Henson when I bowled there!”
Not only did Bud manage centers and own pro shops, he was a heck of a bowler as well and is the first person in Bakersfield to roll a sanctioned 300 game which he accomplished in 1959. In 1995 he was inducted into the BBA (Bakersfield Bowling Association) Hall of Fame for Superior Performance. If you bowled in Bakersfield as a league bowler over the last thirty years, you probably have had a new ball drilled by Bud. He was the “go to” guy that bowlers flocked to for that perfect fit and to help enhance their game.

Larry Hunt was still an active member of the African-American bowling league on Friday nights at Regency as he had been for many years.
Jerry Clark had bowled at Regency up until a year or so ago. He bowled in the Royal Mixed Five league and later joined the senior day leagues at Regency.
The GEUSBC 2010-11 Average Book are available. The first printing did not include a full page of averages so the printer re-printed the Books. They are still just $2 each and are available from Lisa Isbell at AMF Southwest Lanes or Mike Hefley/Bowler’s Edge Pro Shop at Regency Lanes.
