Smitty's Tavern part 4

The fourth and final of these fabulous women's bowling team photos. No Smitty in this one, but I assume it's the same team. Neil's grandmother is on the far right. Seems to be a photo of a baseball team in the background - the Cubs? the White Sox? All the women except the one on the far left are looking directly into the camera. I believe the woman on the far left is thinking, "Next time I'll remove the curlers and brush my hair BEFORE the photographer shows up."

Farewell, ladies - I hope you had a wonderful time bowling together!

Smitty's, part three

Another great photo of the Grayslake women's bowling team sponsored by Smitty's tavern. Doesn't Smitty look like a character actor from a Frank Capra movie? Hey - wait a minute. I just noticed that this is a different guy than in the other Smitty's photos, here and here. This one looks like Floyd the barber from the Andy Griffith show. So who is Smitty? 

Smitty's bowling team, again

Another great shot of the women's Grayslake bowling team. That's Neil's grandmother in the middle, holding the ball. Perhaps she was the star bowler on the team.

Smitty's

This photo of a winning local women's bowling team sponsored by Smitty's Tavern was taken for a local newspaper. Neil's grandmother, Gertrude Strang, is on the far left in the back row. It's quite possible that some of the other lovely ladies in the photo are grandmothers of my high school classmates - but there are no names on the back, so I don't know who they are. At any rate, they look happy!
