I'm a blind bowler from Milwaukee and have known Wally for many years. I dont know of anyone who had the depth of knowledge, statistics, records, you name it, etc. as Wally. And most of it was in his mind it seems. If any of us live as long as he did and be as sharp, it would be a blessing. He was one of my mentors when I was getting involved with our national blind bowling organization; we are both Past Presidents. We shared many meals at tournaments, midyear meetings as well as phone calls talking about ABBA business and sports and politics.

I was asked to write an article for our newsletter about Wally and our secretary-treasurer has asked that his many records be saved for us. I can provide her contact info if needed. My phone # is 414-545-4052. Kathy Brockman
