Images#

Present in the files is this photo of the late bowler Simon "Cy" Woolf inside a bowling alley, a prominent figure in the Florida senior bowling community and Tampa Bowling Association Hall of Fame inductee, and also a playable character in the game.

This image is notable due to being the only known photo of him on the internet in color.
