Bill Briggs shoots first Pepsi league 300

Bill Briggs has been a member of the Coke (now Pepsi) league since its beginning, and finally got his first 300 in the league. I should also say that Bill has been one of the biggest supporters of my social media efforts, so I’m happy he finally has a 300.

The video I got is below:

Congrats Bill, you’ve earned this one! 🙂

EDIT: My report that this was Bill Briggs’ first 300 ever was in error, and this was just his first one in the Pepsi league. The post has been edited.

Ed Merriam elected to Mass. state USBC Hall of Fame

A source on the state board has informed me that the late Ed Merriam has been posthumously elected to the Massachusetts State USBC Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service. As noted in his obituary, Ed was association manager for the Pittsfield Bowling Association, was a member of both the Pittsfield USBC and Youth Halls of Fame, and was past president of the Berkshire County Youth Bowling Association. Ed was also known by me to have been state association manager briefly before his passing.

Ed will be inducted during the opening ceremony of the state tournament at AMF Chicopee Lanes.
