Rack-A-Ball is the first pin I have memory of playing. It was located in an old country bar south of Beaufort, MO called "The Mill" but formally know as "Noser's Mill. The bar was run by an affable German immigrant named Hugo. It featured pickled hard-boiled eggs and pigs feet in jars at the bar, Sundrop soda, a big-ball bowler, various pins at various times (including Rack-A-Ball) and a pool table. It had a giant (5 feet long) taxidermied fish mounted near the front door that I never did know the species, liltingly smooth bass sounding speakers hung over the patio (usually playing a Johnny Cash song) and grist mill stone wheels at the sidewalk entrance. You could ramble down to the Bourbeuse River which was about 50 yards away to skip rocks and catch critters. I was about 8 years old. What a great place!
