<span id="gallery-cutline">Vicki Vukovich bowling at Olympic Lanes in 1983 -- the year she made the match play finals of a Ladies Professional Bowlers Tour event at age 69. </span>
I first saw Vicki Vukovich when I was just a teenager starting
to bowl in top state bowling tourneys in the late 1970s.
Already in her 60s, Vukovich was one of the legendary figures my
bowling elders pointed out to me -- I've always been a bowling
history junky and had a couple of folks I pestered on a regular
basis. "Tell me about" him or her, I'd say when I'd see someone who
seemed important....
