Hey guys, (just wanted to share this)

You don't know how "HAPPY" I am to finally find my "ORIGINAL" partner of Ten Pins Pro Shop from Chicago after 19 years (sometimes internet is a great thing).  His name is Jesse Gutierrez, my best friend in childhood and early adulthood.  We grew up together at Cermak Bowl working at the bowl, shop and then opening our first pro shop together under the tutelage of Mr. Jerry Negrete (great man who helped mold my life).

I met 3 friends at Bowl Expo from Chicago that I haven't seen in 20+ yrs and they helped me get in contact with him.  We used to bowl and coach together.  We even bought an 8mm camera and projector back then to analyze our own games (we were only 18-19 yrs old) to see and understand what, why and how things worked in our games.  We analyzed ball motion back when we use to have to tape our balls to find pap's...

I am just so ecstatic about this that I wanted to share with my family here.  Life in itself changes people but great friendships and loyalty in an individual never go away....so happy to have you back in my life "J".

On edit: I have to thank my new "Dad" Mr. Bob Reid who gave me the opportunity to be at Expo for this to happen in my life...thank you.
