Kris has made reference to following in Dad's footsteps working in a bowling alley.
One of my first jobs as a youngster was in a bowling alley. I was a pinsetter, That was when the pins were set manually in the rack and then you pushed the rack down to release the pins. You then had to sit on the back of the pin box with your feet in the air as the ball came back and knocked the pins down. Pin boys were routinely getting hurt by not getting out of the way. I did not do this very long.

My next post, if I don't forget will be to tell you of my first love.
