A retired police chief from Montana racked up six perfect games of bowling during his league season in Sun City West.
Greg Waldon, who retired last year from the Belgrade Police Department and bowls in a pro senior circuit, accomplished the feat in three different leagues between September and April at the RH Johnson Lanes.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
