Fun Thread: Where Are They Now? PBA Pros

[Ramtart]

Where are they now?

Thought I'd throw this out there for you guys...
I was looking for some old PBA tapes at home, btw, if you guys have any that would you like to get rid of, you know who to message! Hehe...Anyways, I always wondered what happened to some of the PRO's who made it on the show only once or twice...

Jimmy Keeth - Won the Tums Classic in 93 I think?
Scott Devers -Lefty who had a very unorthodox swing that swung around his back
Harry Sullins - Righty who had a very cupped wrist then uncorked the ball
Jess Stayrook - PBA champion (Loved watching him saw on that ball)
Bob Belmont - Righty who made the show a bunch in the early 90's - mid 90's
Joe Firpo - Admired his game while I was a Junior Bowler
Mark Mosaybei - Remember him making some telecasts in the late 90's
John O'Drobinak - Saw him on a 1989 telecast. Pretty smooth righty
Will think of more!

Go ahead and add to the list. I tried looking for some of these guys on Bowl.Com
I think Harry Sullins is averaging around 220's somewhere...Any updates on any of these guys?

Have Fun!

Soutar bowls out of Bradenton/Sarasota FL. I think he hits up some senior stops.

Mark McDowell writes a question and answer column monthly for Bowlers' Journal Iternational magazine. He has some "interesting" ideas.

Dave Soutar, Joe Berardi, Teata Semiz, Steve Neff?

Teata Semiz is still invovled in the Pro Shop business with his son, Tom. They have a hugely busy place in Carolier Lanes, North Brunswick NJ, where the US Open was held and where the Johnny Petraglia Open used to occurr. Tom Semiz actually owns the place. Teata is still force to be reckoned with in Senior regionals. I think he's now over 70 years and is in better shape than most 40 year olds.

Where is Tony Ament?? I believe 1994 rookie of the year. Ran a pro shop in a local house in NJ, would against guys with balls off the rack and serve up some major whoopins!

C.K. Moore is, I think, a minister and lives somewhere in the NW.

Bobby Jacks, I heard, died some time ago - not sure how.

I swear I bought a ball from a Bobby Jacks off Ebay in the last year and a half.

I think he was an AMF staffer and then a Track staffer.

Dead?

REgards,

Ernie Schlegel is definitely alive and kicking in Vancouver, WA. I bowled a Valentines No-Tap doubles at his home house, and my partner and I handily beat Ernie and his wife.

I am friends with Ernie and his wife. I don't get to see Cathy often enough!

Not going through 4 pages worth of stuff before posting so here goes.  Joe Firpo is a finance manager for a Volvo dealership here in Atlanta. He bowls in my league on Wednesday nights.  He is averaging 228 bowling only the 3 games a week and also had an 855 series about 2 months ago that ousted my 832 from the week prior.  I appreciated that one, Joe!  Steve Hoskins also resides here in the Atlanta area.  It was my understanding that he takes one week every month and goes to Florida on business.  About a year ago, I found out that Ricky Ward was drag racing.  They had a special on a telecast last year about him and his racing team.

Mike Jasnau does CATS instruction at the Lane 81 pro shop in the National Bowling Stadium in Reno when tournaments are running.  I'm not sure what he does or where he does it when he's not there.

BTW, I have taken his instruction the last two times I bowled ABC in Reno, and he has been extremely helpful.
