Bowling for bucks

There was a time when a lot of us would go to Fort Lewis & bowl for bucks.  That's when you would pay an entrance fee & hopefully you win some money.  They had certain combinations that had a pay out.  Some were modest, some were high.  Jeff had the highest with a winning of $150.  Of the people that came were Judy, Jack, Jeff, Val, Karen, Bob, Ady, Oma, Pam, Bryon & myself.  It started out being $10 to enter.  Then it went to $15.  It started at 1900.  We had to be there before 1830 to sign in.  Then after it was over, usually at 2300, we would hurry to Federal Way to the Dairy Queen in Twin Lakes & eat some food & Ice cream.  Some bought bowling balls.  Even had holes drilled.  By the time Pam & Judy got theirs we quit going.  Val was pregnant with Josh & they stilled smoked in the bowling ally & it wasn't good for her.  By the time we wanted to start again they stopped it.  It was some fun times!
