I remember Earl bowling the Waukegan Open, in Waukegan, IL (I spent the week watching him bowl).
I never saw anyone bowl with his focus... I remember, someone was shooting 300 in the tournament (back then everyone stopped bowling to watch). Earl was the only bowler who didn't stop, he just kept bowling.... He was one of a kind. At least in my mind.
He's the reason I sitll (try to) bowl today.
