This History and Beginnings of Gay Bowling in Houston is dedicated to those who have played a part in providing bowling to Houston's gay community and who are no longer with us to enjoy their dreams and efforts as our pioneers of everlasting dedication. They should be remembered forever in Houston's gay archives. They are Nick Escobedo, Tommy Davis, Ed McKelvey, Mike Steiniger, Sam Immordino, Jim Buck, Phill Blakeway, Mark Hall, and Jim Reagan. We miss them and all bowlers that we have lost over the years. We will all be forever grateful to them.

All bowlers, who are gay or lesbian, growing up prior to the 1970' s probably dreamed of one day being able to enjoy what they like best-- bowling, with other gays and lesbians, especially once everyone started coming out after Stonewal1. That dream became real when one individual began the process to make it happen in Houston, Texas.

Nick Escobedo, who was President of the Montrose Sports Association Volleyball League, with intentions of expanding the organization to other gay sports in Houston, gathered friends and fellow volleyball players who enjoyed and knew the game of bowling to begin Houston's first gay bowling league. They were Tommy Davis, Ed McKelvey, and Gerald ( Hagan. Little did any of them imagine that a lot was about to happen very Houston? Texas rapidly within the inner circle of gay bowling during the first few years.

Together, they networked with other gay bowlers by recruiting friends and by advertising a "guys' night out at the lanes" in TWT's classified section during the months of March and April, 1979. Stadium Lanes and Merchant Park Lanes were chosen houses closest to the Montrose area to attract more people. As individuals would attend weekly, names were gathered of those interested in eventually forming a league. Thirty individuals were interested by the beginning of the ABC's Summer Season, May 14, 1979, to form the first gay bowling league in Houston, a 6 team (with 5 members each) league called MSA Summer League, under the umbrella of Montrose Sports Association. The league was small and "disappeared" on lanes 31-36 in the corner of Stadium Lanes'(a 72 lane house) "red" side. 1979 MSA Men's Summer League (6 Teams, 5members each)

An article appeared in the August 9,1979, issue of The Advocate on gay sports in America. This article identified individuals associated with gay sports in each major city. As a result, MSA Bowling was invited by Leo Gender of New York City's Gay Brotherhood Laison to attend its first international gay bowling tournament, the Stonewall Tournament, during Memorial Holiday weekend, May, 1980. Leo's attempt to gather gay bowlers throughout the country was the first known effort ever as a gay national-international tournament. (In November, 1979, Milwaukee's HIT hosted a regional tournament of surrounding major cities.) Cities represented at the Stonewall Tournament were Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, and New York. The tournament was held at Madison Square Gardens. All guests were housed in New York City by GBL's members. Phil Howard, Wally Talbot, Jim Hampton, and Gerald Hagan from Houston attended the event.

PAGE.35 LOOKING BACK TO THE BEGINNING

An article appeared in the August 9, 1979, issue of The Advocate on the topic of Gay Sports in America, and identified individuals associated with gay sports in each major city in the US and Canada. As a result of this article, Leo Gender, representing New York City's Gay Brotherhood Liaison, invited individuals from the various cities to participate in the Liaison's first international gay bowling tournament, The Stonewall Tournament, which was held over the Memorial Day weekend in 1980. Piggy-backing on the success of Milwaukee's Holiday Invitational Tournament, a regional tournament held in November of 1979 which attracted a nice field of entrants from surrounding cities, Leo's attempt to gather gay bowlers from across North America was the first recorded effort towards a national-international tournament. Cities represented at the Stonewall Tournament included Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, and New York. The event was held at Madison Square Gardens, and all tournament participants were hosted and housed by members of the Gay Brotherhood Liaison. The event was a success and word spread quickly.

Shortly after the Stonewall Tournament, bowlers from across the continent were invited to attend another gay bowling tournament. The Hollywood Bowl Tournament was given in conjunction with the 1980 Gay Softball World Series being held in Los Angeles. Only those cities with both softball and bowling were invited to attend the event because the North American Gay Alliance (NAGA) was voting on whether or not to include bowling in its organization. However, before NAGA could vote on the matter themselves, the six cities that attended the bowling tournament -- Houston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Sand Diego, and Toronto -- decided to form a bowling organization of their own. Though not yet named, August 29, 1980 marked the birth ofIGBO.

The original founding members of the organization were Houston's Tommy Davis and Gerald Hagan, Tom Hack, representing New York, David Theiss of Milwaukee, John O'Brien and John Hammett of Los Angeles, Steve Brown of San Diego, and Rick Edwards and Jim "Porno" Pullen of Toronto. It was decided ~ that the representatives would meet again a few months later during the 2nd. Holiday Invitational Tournament in Milwaukee to elect officers and select a site to host the organizations first Annual Tournament. It was during the meeting in Milwaukee that the representatives present voted unanimously to adopt the new name for the organization as proposed by Tom Hack-- International Gay Bowling Organization--IGBO. During the first IGBO meeting, Tom Hack was elected to serve as the organization's first President, and David Theiss was elected to the position of SecretarylTreasurer. Bids were accepted to host the first Annual Tournament, which was to be held Memorial Day weekend. Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego submitted bids. After the elimination round of balloting, Atlanta and Houston remained. On the second ballot, there was a 5/5 tie, with one abstention. On the third ballot, Houston was selected to host the first IGBO Annual Tournament.
