Dear AC Butch, I am sitting here at this moment with my longtime friend, Doug the Rug Weinstein. We just came across your story about your doubles match against him and Dickie Wholin. After reading it out loud to him, he began to laugh until tears came to his eyes. When I asked him why it was so funny (you beating him and Dickie for so much) he told me he had somebody in the crowd that was betting on you with his money. He doesn't remember the exact amount, but he mentioned something about buying a new car shortly after that. He was glad you bowled well so he didn't have to look too bad and no one had any idea what was going on, not even you. Come on AC, do you really think you could have beat him, even on your best day? You seem like a smart guy, yet Doug played you like a fiddle. He sends his regards and wishes you well.

I hardly ever come to Facebook but am glad I did and found this post. I remember that day well and if Doug did dump to me I didn't have any idea what was going down.
He was a very tough action bowler but I have beaten better, such as Tommy DiNardo and Bee Bee Notaro just to mention a few. I always stayed clear of the top action bowlers so I could stay with guys I could consistantly earn from, which I did. Never had a loosing year.
Action bowling was the greatest years of my life and Doug was really very good at it. I always enjoyed watching him bowl...
It would be great if you guys posted to the actionbowlers forum, I'm sure you have many stories to tell... actionbowler.proboards.com/index.cgi?pbuser=actionbowler

PS
butch also beat Mac Wagner, Allen "buffalo" Dwoskin, Les Sager, Les Shirwindt, Beeper, Larry Starr, Mike Foti, Richie Grossman, Richie Devita and many others, he tried to stay with the 190 or so bowlers who gave him a good living...
One of the gimmick games he never lost a match at was (one step) he even took down Lenny "the cane" Dwoskin who many considered to be the best one step bowler. The truth of the matter is butch might of been better with his one step approach then with is regular 4 step approach.
