It was approximately 57 years ago since we last set foot in the bowling alleys, which were in the downstairs area in Alex and Tom Hyra鈥檚 Regent Bowling & Billiards. The year was circa 1959 when we last set pins for the Hyra鈥檚 and getting the chance to see our old stomping grounds was a huge treat on our recent visit to our old home town, Neepawa. It was the usual four hombres, Cam Smith, Ron Kleven, Barry Deveson and me. We usually get back to Neepawa at least a couple of times each year.
