Hromek is a great guy! He's one of the few that put up with me in the early 90's. He was always nice to me when he didn't have to be. Him and Steelsmith were just different. I'd add Dan Dyck and Kloempken to that list. Miss being around those guys, they just made you feel like you belonged, when you didn't!

That was awesome seeing Justin rolling the rock. Still throwing wood with that high tilt roll and acute pocket entry angle, Loved watching him on TV. I think he caught one of the worst breaks in bowling at Masters qualifying for top 64. May have been in Reno at the stadium. He flushed one in the tenth which would have put him in the cut and one of the pins laying on the deck stood back up. It was awhile back, so not sure my memory is accurate on place and tourney.
@justinhromek73

Yep! It was in the winners bracket against Mika K. The ten pin slid to the 9 pin spot and hit the ball as it went off the lane and just froze it in its place. Easily the worst break I’ve ever had, I’ve still never seen anything quite like that hit
