“ My family wasn’t big into bowling, but I started out as a pin setter and of course every time after we had a little break or little spare time in the evening when we were through.
Roland Bental, who was running the club at the time, would let us bowl so we started out at a pretty young age setting pins and then got into bowling and it was just something I really enjoyed. I don't think since it opened in well, ‘48, I was pretty young, but probably in ‘57 or 8, I started bowling and I don't that I can recall, I haven’t missed league since then.” -JohnDechert
