Curator's Comment
Before he was old enough to hoist his own ball, Michael Massaroli often accompanied his father to bowling alleys and helped him keep score. As an adult, Michael’s average was a respectable 190, and he bowled weekly in a men’s league at Bowling on the Green on Staten Island where he resided. September 11, 2001, was a designated bowling night, and Michael had planned to head to the alley after work.
