Weedsport Babe Ruth home game - about 1960 (Colorized)

Photo courtesy of Eric Orser...

Eric recalls it may be Dick Doan on deck, Rick Traver standing next to Dick and Eddie Weller leaning toward Rick. Mike Stowell sitting to the right of the player with his hand on his head. Eric Orser is the player at bat. Larry Parkman would have been there and Mike McGraw in street clothes 2nd from left on the bench. Thank you Eric Orser for sharing this photo...who won the game?

OK... I am a Weedsport Central School graduate, class of 1968.  I was on the bowling team, for 4 years, that finished 2nd in the states, 4 years in a row, to the same Vestal team.  Barbara Klump was our “coach”.  Also on those teams were Ted Ball, who was high qualifier in the Junior Masters 2 years in a row, Greg Kiefer and Harold Case. Glad to see Bowling back as a Varsity Sport. Those 4 teams in the 1960's didn't loose a single League match! "Home field" was Rainbow Lanes.

I was fortunate enough to bowl Senior PBA Tournaments for 12 years, occasionally making the finals and cashing...best finish was 5th.

If you're a Mac person, I was featured in the movie "Welcome to Macintosh" released in 2009. We had the pleasure of attending the premiere showing in Cleveland and took in a Cleveland Indians baseball game...great weekend. The movie can be watched at the "Miscellaneous" link.

I will be adding more content in the coming weeks as I thought I'd redo the site... if you have photos / videos about Weedsport to share, I’d be happy to find a home for them here.
