Phyllis Furman was a member of the local women’s association 600 Club, having bowled twelve 600 series in a career that started in the 1950’s, when it was a lot tougher to reach the 600 mark, and stretched into the early 1970’s.  Two of those 600s won her two Bowler of the Week titles in Keglers Korner.  Her career high series was 671; and her career high game of 258, was one of forty-one 200+ games she posted during her career.

Phyllis was a member of one of Williamsport’s premier bowling families, which includes her father, Harvey Tressler, Sr, brothers Harvey Tressler Jr. and Andy Tressler, and sons Rod and Bill Furman, as well as daughter-in-law Evelyn Furman, all of whom are members of the local association Hall of Fame.
