I’m doing story research for a story I’m working on for the Savage Pacer about Dan Patch Lanes. I know Mic and think I’ll give him a ring to gather some more info. Are there others who you might suggest that I talk to about their number days of bowling at Dan Patch Lanes? I’ve got a call into Denny and will certainly talk to him to get all the facts right. I’ve also talked to the city. But I think the best part of any story would be to talk with folks like Mic.

Anyway, my e-mail’s listed above — please let me know.

Sorry to see an end of an era, but I’m sure the friendships that have been established won’t diminish. best wishes to your parents and the whole family.
