FIRST TIME 700 SERIES

 

Chuck Tiedeman, 62, of Clarkston had a career night this past Monday at Airway Lanes in Waterford Township . Bowling in the Pop’s Comets league Chuck shot games of 222-247-240 for 709, his first career 700 series.

 

Chuck is the 40-year league treasurer and this year took the reins of league secretary after his best friend Leroy Puckett passed away. Puckett was league secretary for 40 years of the Airway Comets, which was renamed in his honor this year as Pop’s Comets.
