Cashers in the inaugural Dan Hamilton Memorial Tournament (L-R): Eric Derochers (1st), Chuck Gerlach (3rd), Sean Richard (2nd) (Photo courtesy of Stephanie Hamilton)
33 bowlers came out today for the inaugural Dan Hamilton Memorial Tournament, with Eric Derochers 1st with 1,068 (four games, with handicap), Sean Richard 2nd with 1,042, and Chuck Gerlach 3rd with 1,034.
I also learned a detail about Dan’s bowling career that I missed in a previous post: He was a NEBA champion, having won at age 19 at Silver Lanes in E. Hartford, CT.
The Hamilton family would like to thank everyone who came out today, whether you bowled or not.
I started "The Tenth Board" to chronicle my experiences during the road back to league bowling after my heel fractures in 1999 (it took me 7 years before I started thinking seriously about it). I now use the blog as a combination of a personal bowling journal and a news site mostly about Westgate Lanes (Brockton, MA) and its bowlers.
