Greater Houston USBC
New Office for Local GHUSBC Association
A metal building was erected in 1954 by the Houston Bowling Association to handle
local membership out of a central location. This building was still in use at 2705
Bagby early in September 2014 in what is known as Midtown, not far from
Houston’s downtown area. In November of 1972 the HBA built an addition which
housed a much needed meeting room as the association board was too large to be
able to meet in the office.
With the merger of the men, women and youth in 2006, this building and
property became part of the Greater Houston USBC Association. Unfortunately, it
sadly needed updating but we found that building and replacement would be more
economical than renovation. The roof leaked, the heating and air conditioning
needed replacing, the single, extremely small bathroom needed updating and there
was need for plumbing in what is used as the kitchen area. The only running water
was in the minuscule bathroom. In other words….we were operating on a wing and
a prayer.
Local membership dues increased in the 2010-11 season and at that time it
was hoped that a new building would be in place during that season. We contacted
the city planning department and were given a set of specifications to follow. Since
that time, the Mid-Town Homeowners Association decided to upgrade the area,
largely due to the influence of up-scale home builders, like Pulte which has come
into the immediate vicinity. They have torn down the small homes that once graced
the area and have constructed three-storied homes with very large parking garages.
If we did nothing to our small piece of land we would be “grandfathered” and
would not be made to change our elevation, but once we begin a new structure, that
option will disappear. The building can no longer be placed as we had planned and
we were mandated to plant several trees and plants; our parking space would virtually vanish.
Since this was the situation we were looking at, we began to explore all areas and see what was available to other parts of the city that would be in our price
range. Property available in all parts of the city were, quite frankly, completely out
of the question. Although, by this time, we did have a buyer for our present location, we were totally unable to come up with an additional $1,200,000 in additional
funds to purchase something else. We finally found a piece of property in South
Houston that we felt we would be able to purchase and renovate for the amount of
the sale price for the other building.

Since this was the situation we were looking at, we began to explore all areas to see
what was available in other parts of the city that would be in our price range. Property available in all parts of the city were, quite frankly, completely out of the question. Although, by this
time, we had a buyer for our present location, we were totally unable to come up with an additional $1,200.000 to purchase something else that was suitable for our needs. We finally found
a piece of property in South Houston that we felt we would be able to purchase and renovate
for the amount of the sale price of the other building.
We finalized the sale of our mid-town property and purchased the property in South
Houston, hired a contractor and renovated this new building, about 5,000 sq. ft. This is about
twice the size of our old building and hopefully will outlast the old one.
On Saturday, September 20, 2014, President Larry Caldwell called the September Board
of Directors meeting to order at 9:30 AM with the words, “Welcome to the house that David
built!” In the house that David built we have FOUR bathrooms, all ADA approved, a huge
meeting room, the fuse box doesn’t sizzle and the overhead lights work…..we even have adequate parking. Our building is light, airy, has plenty of storage space and we are no longer
afraid it will burn down…..with us in it! It is a facility that GHUSBC bowlers can be proud of
and we invite you to visit us whenever you can at 2616 Houston Road (Hwy 3). Remember,
this is in SOUTH HOUSTON, TX. We sold, we bought and we remodeled! How sweet it is!
The working conditions have improved 100%.
An open housed was held on January 11 and approximately 50 people weathered a very
bleak day to attend. Everyone was quite impressed with our new working place and had nothing but favorable comments. Our phone numbers are the same as before so just give us a ring.
The above pictures show how large the board room is; the cubicles in the office showing Tari
Dammel and Georgette McNally; the lunch room, David Field’s office; Memorial Committee
having a meeting after board meeting; the officer’s area during board meetings and lastly the
Memorial Committee again. At the time the Memorial Committee was taking place, the
Awards Committee was also meeting.
We also wish to thank Donna Connors and Carol Norman, not only for their complete support
of our Association but for the huge flat screen TV they gave us for our lunch room.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE
THE MAN IN THE PINK FUZZY HAT—KEN FULKERSON
Ken Fulkerson was a charter member of the GHUSBC Board of Directors and was elected a Director in
2006. He loved being part of the new bowling association and was a strong supporter of all association
efforts. He was always on hand to participate or volunteer in any way he could.
Ken loved to bowl in tournaments and served as an Association Delegate for the
Southern Bowling Congress. He rarely missed a board meeting or tournament
squad and was the first to speak up on an issue or to make a motion. During
tournaments, he loved to dress up in his pink “diva” shirt and pink fuzzy hat to
collect for BVL and Susan G. Komen, arriving early to ensure doing this particular
part of the check in duties. In December 2013, we lost our beloved Ken to a
heart attack. What a shock this was for all of us. Ken was everyone’s “bud”, he
loved people and he never spoke unkindly about anyone. Ken was a proud sponsor of tournament teams
and could be counted on for his support in all activities.
THE GENTLEMAN IN THE CUTE LITTLE HAT—BOB BECK
Affectionately called “Bob” by everyone, Robert Beck became a Director for the Houston Bowling Association in 1986 and served as the House Director for Northshore Bowling Center, He was awarded the Walter Rachuig Memorial Award during the 988-98 season for the outstanding work as a House Director and
participation in other activities. In the 993-94 season, he was selected for the Bill Fisher Award of Excellence and became an HBA Life Member in 1996. Bob was a Southern Bowling Congress Director and Life
Member. He did so many things for the HBA and always volunteered to help the association in any way
he could especially during tournaments. He washed the windows and cut the grass, mopped the meeting room, took lunch orders for the office personnel and even delivered. After he retired from his day job
and lunch was over, he would sit at an empty desk and take a power nap. Everyone would be very quiet
to let Bob rest. Although he was not a charter member of the new association, saying new ideas were
needed, he continued to help in his own quiet little way, continuing to do the “labor intensive” jobs needed by the new association. He was appointed to the GHUSBC Nominating Committee in 2007.
If you knew Bob, you most likely have heard a few humorous stories about him. He and his close friend,
BIll Fisher, often traveled to different cities to bowl in the state tournaments; one being the Texas State
Senior Tournament. It seemed that Bill was always the driver and Bob was the navigator, even though it
was doubtful he used a map; the roads they traveled to and from were paved with favorite restaurants.
Their trip was always planned by these restaurants and they knew exactly how long it took to get from one
to the other and on which highway they were located. Bob will be missed, not only at tournament time,
but any time he felt he could do something for bowling. He was always there to lend a hand and volunteer; always in his cute little hat..Unfortunately, we cannot seem to locate a picture of Bob in his cute little hat, but perhaps you knew him anyway.

a lot too.

good year for the McQueen family!
Kyle Alexander Young
Five 300 games and an 812

admission into the GHCPA Hall

Ed Calcote
Recommendation letters build up Ed
Calcote as a tireless volunteer who
gives his all, actively promoting the
sport of bowl, especially on the youth
level, even when ill. This is not a build
-up, this is simply Ed.
Ed has been involved in youth bowling at many different levels. At the
league level Ed served as Preside of various youth leagues for the last
eleven years. At the local level Ed has served as a Youth Director on
the GHUSBC Board of Directors since 2008. Ed has also served as a
GHUSBC Adult Youth Leader advisor since 2008. Ed has been a volunteer and can be seen at most local adult and youth tournaments in
the Greater Houston area since 2004.
At the state level, Ed has been a TSUSBC Board member since 2009
and has served on numerous state committees. If it has to do with
volunteering and youth bowling, you will probably find Ed Calcote’s
name attached to it.
In a letter written by Kyle Calcote (Ed’s son) states “my father only
wants what is best for the youth of Greater Houston”. Kyle also states
“my Dad’s journey began when I first was interested in bowling”.
Lauren Garcia
Lauren Garcia has been a Youth
League Coordinator for 23 years..
Her dedication and commitment to the
youth at Copperfield Bowl is a major
reason for the program size and the
quality of bowlers passing through her program for years.
Lauren had her first Hall of Honor inductee in 1995 and has
consistently had bowlers represent her program in the Hall of
Honor over the ears.’
Lauren keeps her bowlers involved in tournaments on the local,
state and national level. Being the director at Copperfield Bowl
has meant Lauren’s involvement in the Special Olympics tournaments and the two have blended together.]
Even though Kendra and Dustin have outgrown the youth program, Lauren has not lost her desire to coach the youth at Copperfield Bowl. Look at the Hall of Honor inductees and you will
see a few of the have the Lauren Garcia stamp on them.
Lou Ann Medbury
Lou Ann began her “youth” career as a
volunteer at Fame City in 1989. In
1990 she was volunteering at Emerald
Bowl. In 1991 Lou Ann was named by
Luci Bonneau as Youth Director and
Coach at Dynamic Lanes. When Dynamic closed down their business the program moved to Del-Mar Lanes where it still exists today.
Lou Ann, though no longer a Youth Director still volunteered; Hall of
Honor Selection Committee, Education Chair, Hall of Honor volunteer, assisting at Gen Gap, City Tournament, Survivor and Travel
League. Lou Ann also served on the GHUSBC Youth Committee for
5 years. Serving on the State level, Lou Ann volunteered her time
with many TSUSBC Youth Championships and International Family.
In 2010 Lou Ann, was recognized as the Texas State USBC Coach
of the Year. Proving it was impossible to take the teacher out of the
Coach, OLou Ann taught her bowlers with a firm discipline, a discipline most of them carry with them today.
Like a good coach Lou Ann gave her all for her youth programs and
continues to offer her time whenever needed.
Back in the days when bowling was in its heyday, there were a number of high school bowlers that participated in match play and tournaments; we’re speaking of the 1950s.
In 1954 there were five girls who formed a team for these tournaments. One such, consisting of Sue and Lou Morton, JoBelle Cooper,
Frances Lester and Jackie Mansker. Their sixth member was Beverly Lindsay. (I will reveal their married names later, but in the meantime, see if you can identify them.) That year they won the Ladies All
Star League at :Lamar Lanes. They also won the Platinum Division
of the Texas Bowling Proprietor’s Ladies’ Team tournament. They
had a team average of 810 with a 170 average led by Sue Morton
and Jackie Mansker. Jo Belle had a 167 with the other averaging a
little less.
Jo Belle, Frances and Jackie actually met competing in high school
bowling tournaments, but did not attend the same high school. All
but Jackie married bowlers. She met her husband when they both
worked at Humble Oil.
Here we are 61 years later and these ladies are still great friends.
They all still bowl except Frances and Jo Belle. Unfortunately, they
lost Beverly in 2014.
If you look down the Houston Bowling Hall of Fame members you
will see most of their names listed. They are:
Jo Belle Kilburn, Beverly McLendon, Jackie Oncken, Lou Lane, and
Sue Kingham and Frances Pearce.

Houston Bowling Hall of Fame
By Jackie Oncken
The 40th Annual Houston Bowling Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at the Hearthstone
Country Club on February 7,2015. The invocation was given by Mary Louise Young and special guests
were introduced and the inductions were begun with the Legends category.
MILDREN SCHAFER—Superior Performance—was inducted by Leown Byers
A Houston bowler for20 seasons (1959-60 through 1979-80), Mildred Schafer always finished a season
with her highest average of record. She was often included in the list of season highs for average, series
and/or game. She was a member of a Class A City Championship Team three times, was a Class A City
Singles Champion once, and was the overall City Champion once. She bowled two 300 games and one
719 series.
Mildred was a very private person, and unfortunately we do not have a lot of information concerning her
bowling career. We do know she was an excellent bowler who took the game very seriously. She loved
the sport of bowling, was a fierce competitor, and was always “in it to win it”.
________________________________________________________________________________________
KENNETH (STORMY) STARNES—Superior Performance—inducted by Jimmy Paine
“Stormy” Starnes was a really likeable person and a strong competitive bowler who carried a 190-200
average for many years. In the 1958-59 season Stormy was a member of the Meyerland Team which
won the Texas State Bowling Association Class A Team event. In 1960-61 he and his team won the HBA
City Tournament. Even better than that, also that year the Meyerland Team won first place in the ABC
National Championship Tournament.
Stormy was elected to the Houston Men’s All City Team in 1960 and in 1961 he rolled an 821 series in
league play and received the ABC Award of Merit for the highest series bowled in Houston that year.
________________________________________________________________________________________
DONNA HALL—Meritorious Service—inducted by Doris Chesser
Involvement should be Donna Hall’s middle name. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to a mother who was
deeply involved in all aspects of bowling, Donna learned at an early age what it meant to take part to
bowl in the AJBC program at the age of seven and, as she grew older, she and her mother became involved together. In 1988 she was elected a director in the Baton Rouge WBA and a Member Emerita in
1995. This was just the beginning.
It would be difficult to list all of Donna’s accomplishments; many of them in Baton Rouge, but after moving to Houston in 1996, she became involved in the HWBA starting out as a Director in 1999 and traveling up the ranks first becoming 3rd VP to be elected President in 2005. During those years she received
the HWBA Volunteer of the Year, the Mary Louise Young Spirit Award, and the Beverly McLendon Leadership award. She also was awarded the Shirley Kutzner Bowlers Journal award and the National Women
Bowling Writers Dee Dee Grant Award.

of America and Texas Bowling Writers. She is currently the President of Bowling Belles League at Armadilla II Lanes and after a
two year absence has been elected as a Director of the GHUSBCA.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CLARENCE MC QUEEN, JR—Superior Performance—inducted by James “Red” Shrum
Clarence was born and raised in Detroit and started bowling when he was nine years old. His dad was instrumental in putting
the first bowling ball in his hand. His mom bowled also but did not have the passion that he and his dad had for the game.
Not knowing anyone when he moved to Houston in 1982, he would take his plastic ball and go and bowl in small tournaments
such as no-tap. A friend saw him bowl and asked him to join a league. That first year he averaged 165 but it didn’t take him
long to become one of Houston’s premier bowlers.
Seven times he and his teammates were TCBA National team champions. In 1997 he was elected to the TCBA Hall of Fame and
in 1999 he was the TCBA All Star Singles Champion.
Four times he was elected most valuable TCBA bowler and bowler of the year. In 2005 he and his team won the GHUSBC City
Tournament Mixed
Team (handicap) division and in 2009 they won the GHUSBC City Tournament Scratch Team division. Also in 2009 he was the
TNBA National Championship Tournament Scratch All Events Champ.
In 2011 he was the GHUSBC Men’s Invitational Tournament Scratch Doubles Champion. 2014 brought him the TNBA National
Open “Senior Scratch “championship and also 1st place in the SASBA Doubles Event at Copperfield Bowl. Clarence has had
twenty-six 300 games and thirteen 800 series with a high of 835.
Even though he is very proud of his own accomplishments, he is must proud of his two oldest ones graduating from college one
week apart even though they are three years apart in age. Winning 1st place in an “Over 50 Under 50” tournament with his middle son was a proud moment. As soon as his youngest son comes out of the youth program, he is looking forward to putting together the “Team McQueen”. He is also proud that after 30 years he still bowls in the travel league.
Clarence and his wife Teresa have been married for 32 years and have three sons, Clarence III (26), Terence (23) and Cameron
(18). He has been teaching school for 14 years, presently at Willowridge High School where he teaches computer and business
classes. He has also coached high school bowling and is a huge Rockets fan.
