Where are they now?
« on: May 18, 2007, 10:31:16 AM »
Not sure if this has been done befor, but with the introduction of the exempt tour, alot of the names we saw mentioned on the show each week have completly disapeared off the radar.

Im watching the 03 Toledo Open on strikepass right now, and they mentioned Dave Arnold. What ever happened to that guy? I remember him being a complete introvert, not real excitable on tv, but he had a solid game, that I liked to watch. I completly forgot he existed!

Anyone know what hes upto these days? Who else have we lost track of?

I would really like to know what ever happen to Nelson Burton Jr.  Is he still an active bowler?  Seniors?  Another bowler in my mind would be Steve Hoskins.

I read somewhere that Bo was still doing some broadcast work for the "Generations Bowling Tour" and residing in South Florida.

I think Hoskins is an insurance (or car) salesman in FL somewhere.  Looks like he still bowls.  Couple of good sets recently.

A lot of the guys who aren't exempt still bowl leagues and tournaments in their areas, so you can look 'em up on the USBC site.

dave arnold bowls in the pba west region. he's entered in this weekend's tournament in seattle. i believe steve hoskins lives in florida and has multiple honor scores in league this year. nelson "bo" burton, jr., also lives in florida and has had three 300 games and three 800 series since january. what's somewhat surprising for a player of his ability is his 238 "normal" average and his 187 pba experience average----you wouldn't think there would be a 51 pin difference between the two.
