8 New Elements Gabriels 3-Cushion Tables
Ron, my hats off to you on the hard work that you did setting up 8 new Gabriels tables. I know now the players will enjoy playing on them.

ONCE I PASSED BY MEDFORD going north on THE FIVE to see TT in PORTLAND.....I think 1995......and I almost stopped in for a day or two but instead pressed on.....going over that pass from YERKA down into the valley is a ***** if you are a stranger to the hood and got a heavy load..
GOOD JOB RON.......will be out there to try to make a point before I die
AND OF COURSE SALUTE TO TALL THE UNKNOWN ELKS OUT THERE ALSO
AND SORRY.....I wud rather be in BEND..........

AND WHEN THEY NEED TO BE RE-HABBED THEY OF COURSE NEED TO BRING YURA RA OUT FOR THAT EVENT which he cud probably do in FIVE days and because he loves the game so much would probably do it for PEANUTS.....JMHO.......
Hi Ron... Doug Deitel here... Congrats on those tables... I played on them in the nationals. Had no idea you were also a billiard table mechanic.
Your Tour Companion 3-piece cue continues to turn heads. In February I played with it at Rockefellers Billiards in Bogota, Colombia... Hope to meet you personally and play at Medford Elks some day.

Ron,
The tables look great as usual you have done a great job setting them up.
If it was not for you and members like Don Dayan, Dick Meyer and many more the Medford tournaments would not be as enjoyable as they are.
Looking forward to Sept.

The tables from the Medford lodge are now in the Ashland lodge, about ten miles away. The Medford lodge lost its charter through political bumbling, but the game is alive and well in Southern Oregon. The Elements table is their commercial room table and a good one, though working on them is a crew job, not just one or two people.
if the elements table is a crew job for working on them I don't want to be part of THAT team
I helped Yura and his helper remove the 2-3/8 thick slate from his van and lug them up on my imperator table when he installed it, all 3 pieces and only managed to smash my hand once
