I have nothing but fond memories of my visits to Mexico while working for AMF prior to the cre- ation of the North American “Free” Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, in 1993. The last time that I visited Mexico was in 1986, when it was one of the best bowling markets in the world for AMF, with no less than 17 bowling centers in and around Mexico City, as well as other bowling center clusters in Monterrey and Guadalajara. The objective of AMF was to cross-train individuals with similar positions in different countries, by providing them with a look at just how particular goals were achieved in other parts of the world. My counterpart in Mexico was Jose Luis Vazquez, who oversaw the marketing duties for the AMF Mexico Bowling Centers. One of the advantages to all of my travels for AMF was the fact that I majored in Geography at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California, and continued with post graduate studies at San Francisco State University. My parents used to joke with me that being a part of AMF was like joining the Navy - I got to see the world! Mexico was one of my favorite places to visit because of the vast amount of history and culture that is every- where. Tops on my list of places to visit was Teotihuacan, and the famous Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. I remember on my first visit to Mexico City, I arrived on a weekend and my primary objective was to visit the ancient pyramids located about an hour to the north. After enjoying some Mexican coffee with my breakfast, the next morning, I joined a sight-seeing group that was headed for the pyramids.
