Guys,
I've had some time to spare recently (as most of us, no doubt) and pulled together a list of the 1st-4th place finishers for all Johnston City events, inspired by the recent induction of the Jansco brothers into the BCA Hall of Fame. And yet, as hard as I tried, there are still gaps to fill in (marked with question marks below). I just thought, maybe, Keith Thompson, Billy Incardona, Steve Booth or Bob Jewett, or anyone else for that matter could chip in and help me complete the list for posterity. This is as far as I have got so far. Any help gratefully received!
