Archives Committee Report
By Gerald Hagen—IGBO Archives Committee Chair
Republished from April 2006 IGBO Newsletter
April 2006—
The 25th Celebration in Milwaukee was an
exciting milestone for us all. The membership
and participants responded so well to our history
presentation with support and with there
own personal contributions. Phillip Kensley
of Aukland contributed his 1st. Place trophy
from the IGBO Midyear tournament there in
2002. Dick Uyvari of Chicago contributed
his trophies from IGBO’s 1st tournament here
in Houston in 1981. Thanks to all whom have
shared their memorabilia wish us.
We are planning a condensed version of our
25th presentation in Milwaukee with a few surprises
relating IGBO’s history to bowling, to
the G&L community, and to entertainment
reminding us of the good times of the past.
We learned in Milwaukee on how we can provide
an interesting and enjoyable presentation
versatile enough to adapt to our hosting city’s
accommodations for our “traveling road show”
of the organization’s memories and history that
you have all so graciously shared with us.
We are in the process of “rounding up the
troops” of the Archives Committee to work
on more digital projects and presentations
where we can continue to expand upon our
library of fun times and historical moments.
We welcome any contributions (such as photographs
and thoughts) by email to Archives,
especially from our more recent events. Please
feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with
us. My email address is gjhoutx@earthlink.net.
If you send photographs, just include a short
caption and identify people in the photographs.
With your contributions, we can expand upon
future presentations at IGBO’s future events.
In Kansas City, we will have some items on
display and an inventory listing of all contributions
to Archives recognizing those who have
done so and to encourage members to contribute
those items we don’t have.
We look forward to sharing in all of the fun
with you in Kansas City!
