Was it All-Star Lanes?

That doesn't ring a bell either. Maybe I'll just Google the addresses around there. Thanks for the response.

<P>Great teacher, never had a lesson from him, but knew a lot of folks that did. </P>

I know Mr. Cito moved around, I think he gave lessons at East Warren and possibly Ritters too.

That name sure rings a bell, I'd bet that was him.

That name sure rings a bell, I'd bet that was him.

I can still remember some of his teaching techniques. He would walk down the lane a bit and straddle it and have you bowl between his legs. I remember being nervous as all hell, thinking I was going to nail him with the ball. I never did, but I bet he either had great reflexes or some serious bruises.

I also remember him teaching me how to release the ball. "The thumb is the brakes and the fingers are the gas!"

Great memories, thanks all!
