Lynsey Aldam Brings State Bowling Title to Pittsfield

PITTSFIELD — Bowling has simply always been a part of Lynsey Aldam’s life. 

On a recent Wednesday evening, she was working the front desk at Kens Bowl in Pittsfield, while her father and uncle were both playing frames as part of a league night. The 17-year-old Taconic junior grew up going to Kens and has been bowling for 11 years.
