I got to the control desk today and told Bev that I heard about Bill Fisher’s passing and that I posted a brief tribute here (previous post), but when I mentioned that I said I bowled with him, I found out I had my Fishers mixed up. Although Bill Fisher did, indeed, pass away, and was the owner of one of the local pro shops, the Fisher that I had bowled with was actually Ray Fisher (who is no relation). So I should start off by issuing an apology to those concerned, and I hereby stand corrected.
I went into today’s practice determined to continue what had worked for me toward the tail end of last week, and I largely succeeded, posting 180s in the first two games. I did fall off in the third game, however, and could only manage a 145. I continue to have occasional problems with my thumb release, so I’ll have to visit Ray at the pro shop sometime to let him know and see if the ball can be worked on further.
