Recently, Holly, Michigan's own Andrew Anderson sent me a signed jersey, and I would love to take a moment to express my appreciation. Andrew, thank you so much for taking the time to send me this jersey. I truly appreciate it more than you know.

Never in a million years would I have thought that professional bowlers would be sending me autographs, let alone signed jerseys. It’s truly a humbling experience, and it’s something I will never take for granted.
Thank you again, Andrew Anderson. I truly appreciate you and your generosity!

Our monthly club was a ton of fun! He had a very solid turn out. Jack's Place/JP has a nice atmosphere they don't hold leagues so not a serious place to bowl but a fun family friendly center. The staff was great, the food was good and the laughs were even better. Dave Mulinski brought his bowling ball detoxer out for us to try which was really nice of him. It is crazy how much oil a bowling ball will absorb. Tyler Scharaswak left the first Lily of the club congratulations man lol

Howard McCullough of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a notable figure in the world of bowling, credited with the creation of the captain-sponsor dinner in 1941—a tradition that remains popular among associations in various cities today. His contributions extend beyond this innovation; he played a pivotal role in establishing the Detroit Bowling Council, one of the pioneering citywide bowling councils in the United States.

In addition to his organizational efforts, McCullough was deeply involved in charitable initiatives, particularly as the chairman of the March of Dimes sports committee during the 1950s. His commitment to promoting both the sport and community welfare reflects his dedication to the values of bowling.

In recognition of his significant contributions, Howard McCullough was inducted into the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Hall of Fame in 1971.
