Bowling Show

[Trisha]

I am looking for help from anyone who may have information on a bowling television show which featured Milwaukee youth.  My boss was featured on the show when he was in his early teens ('60s) and I was wondering if there would be archive footage anywhere.  I'm working on this for a retirement gift, so I have very little to work with and any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I remember a show called: Bowling for dollars, with Dick Johnson.  Maybe you can Google it.

Here's a partial list of the Bowling shows from years past. I doubt if any recordings were made in the early 60's due to the expense, those shows were broadcasted live to a local audience.
