Now I know I'm getting old. Does anyone remember what the question was?

The question was where is the Bocce Ball Hall of Fame located and who was the
Commissioner

[Eastburn]

That would have to be at Buddy's - 6 & Conant. As to the commish, no clue.

Late to the party, EB. Jeff gave the answer, but no one could remember the question.

Boy, you miss a few hours of forum - and fall FAR behind. Somewhere along the last 25 posts, someone asked a question about Altar "girls" - well, I can answer that with a definite YES. Being one, myself, though just an "Emergency Server" - it's an incredible experience. We do have a few "younger" ladies of high school age that assist at Mass as servers as well.

and yeah, I thanks all - I could REALLY use an Orange Julius right now. Wasn't there a Bettermade store in that corner too?

What was the question again?

Someone had a traumatic recollection of the Burbank playground being occupied by bocce ball players. My first time ever witnessing a bocce ball game was at Burbank. I didn't know a thing about it. It seems that it was real popular during the 70s. Does anyone recall how long bocce ball was played there? Did it start in the 50s, 60s?
Was it just a few locals that got together? Was there a league? Inquiring minds want to know?
