Alan Douglas wrote a thank you letter to all of his league bowlers and noted that since 1959 when the doors were opened at The Bowler Inc., a number of improvements have been made. He stated that without the past and continued support and loyalty of all of the league bowlers the latest improvements would not have been possible. Many of those leagues date back to the 1950s and the Del's Mixed League is the oldest sanctioned league in Allegany County sanctioned in 1963.

Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
