So the 🐐 is your grandfather? Wonder how he's doing now?

[@gg456stormy]

Wow at least 10 of those names are killers, that was a great streak. He was my favorite bowler growing up in the 70's and eighties.

I miss watching candlepin bowling and especially Don Gillis. I went to a few tapings at the old Sammy White's with my dad back in the day. My mom was born and raised in Nova Scotia and she was so excited when she met fellow Nova Scotian Gillis.

Grainy, yes, but still very much watchable. What Channel 5 would have looked like from my TV in RI. BTW, was this the start of Tom Olszta's 22-week run? I remember watching him as a kid, on both Channel 5 and the old Channel 27. He was amazing to watch. BMP

Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire . Again I started watching Don Gillis bowling early 1970s, amazing that Tom was only 16 when he won 3 matches in a row!! Makes candlepin bowling look easy.

[@morgan8757]

i'm surprised that was the first time tom olszta and mike morgan met against one another on channel 5

[@MichaelMiller-ny3rr]

Tommy is da Man!

[@flames24lightning]

Tommy's first appearance was 50 years ago in October 1973

[@netrade3898]

The beginning of "The Streak".

Still trying to figure out Morgan’s haircut. It’s like a crew cut up front with mullet in the back or something 🤷
