Marguerite Klyne, 80, celebrates her birthday and 50 years with the Scarborough Bowling League Monday at O’Connor Bowl in East York.
Bowler still rolling strikes after 50 years Mark A. cadiz mcadiz@insidetoronto.com Every Monday at O’Connor Bowl in East York, members of one of the oldest bowling leagues in the city gather for a competitive fivepin game of bowling.
The Scaborough Bowling League (SBL), which started in 1946, has been led by veteran bowler Marguerite Klyne, the acting treasurer for the last 38 years and bowler for 50. “I love bowling, I’ve never had a blue Monday,” Klyne said. “I get weepy and emotional
when I think about it, but I love the bowlers – some more than others,” she said jokingly while trying to fight tears. Klyne got her first taste of bowling in her late 20s and has been hooked ever since. Alongside her duties with SBL, she is the president and
secretary treasurer of the East Toronto Ladies League that meets every Thursday. “It’s like a little job for me. I feel very honoured to have been treasurer this long for both leagues,” she said. Julien Guillemette, president >>>LEAGUE, page 10
