   League Secretaries, I encourage you to get the scores each week to me, so I can include them in this column, and here is an easy way to do that. For those of you who are using the BLS program, there is a report called Reprint of Scores.  If you print that out, saving it as a pdf file, and then send it to me, I can go thru, and glean all the scores, so I can include those scores in my weekly report.

       That’s it for this week. Thanks to all who submitted info for this week’s column. Remember, you can get all the columns by checking out Tuck’s Bowling for Fun blog at: http://tucksbowlingforfun.blogspot.com

       Until next time, let’s have fun, and knock ‘em down.
