GREEN BAY—The Green Bay Area USBC honored Mark Simonet, Bill Kinney, Jim Whiting, Jr., Jean Cleary and Tammy Thyes into the 2019-20 Hall of Fame in a banquet and awards program held Nov. 1 at the Riverside Ballroom.

“I had the opportunity to compete with some of the individuals (Mark, Bill and Jim) as team-mates and as opponents,” said Jon Lundquist.  “It’s better having them on your team than bowling against them. It’s a well-deserved honor to see these bowlers enter the Green Bay Area USBC Hall of Fame for 2019. These guys are great bowlers but even better friends.
