Mike, stay with me, where are you?

How about Swap Rat? Boy Va. Beach had/has some great pool players.

Damon moved home when he Dad died. I use to run with Caveman a lot. Did you know Harry Lee? truck driver, big time gambler? Don ran gibbs billards. Total ass hole, (my opinion) but a good player.

Did you know Kemp the car salesman? Couldn't play that good but LOVE to gamble. He got his nose open one night playing Cripple Bill and LOST a ton of money, cars, and even owed Barry a bunch of money. Happen around 1990 ish.

Are you sure we're talking about the same Vernon? Vernon from Chattanooga TN?? He had a stroke in 2006, died in 2009 of a heart attack. STRONG player!

Lywood Berry is Onion, good one pocket player, Jimmy is probably "big head Jimmy", seems a tad slow but one hell of a player.

Al plays alot of one-pocket. Has a long ZZ-Top kinda beard now. Dave Palmer is an older man. Kinda reminds me to the Hunchback from Notre Dame. Plays mostly 3cushion and straight pool. Yeah...Vernon passed away just out of the blue. I saw him one night late as we closed Qs down. Even played him some 3cushion for cheap. The next day, I come in, and everyone was asking me if I had heard about Vern. I was going to go to the hospital to see him but he passed away before I could get there. I don't know about any good chile tho. Sorry

Yes, I knew Vernon Elliott. I don't know Al Dave palmer, is he the one who made good chilly?

There are some strong players here now. Chris Futrell and Eric Moore are probably the two best we have. Brandon Pureza is on AZ alot. He moved to Charlotte so he doesn't come in as much as he used to. I see Brandon Shuff all the time when he is in town.

You asked about Cripple Bill. I hadn't seen him in a long time. I still see Dave White all the time. He usually plays Troy one-pocket or just practices by himself. Or he will have me and Dave Palmer play 3custion. I don't think he is driving a cab or living in his car/van anymore. I know a male and female Mel. Which one? lol. Al bought Dave Bollman's shop before he passed. Did you know Vernon? He passed not too long ago. So did Billy. We are losing old school players left and right

Bobby M. got on drugs and hit the road, great short stop. Not sure what become of him.

Cripple Bill beat a guy name Kemp out of his entire car lot.

Dave White drives a cab. Greg died, cave's mind isn't right, Damon did move to Oregon. Mel is still there.

Which "he" might have passed away? I'm curious now.

So you knew all these players? Wow, small world!

Wow....some of those names I haven't heard of in quite some time....Onion!!!! WOW!. Are you talking about "Big Head" Jimmy? Or a different Jimmy? There were several...

Yeah but I haven't seen him in a long time. He might have passed away. I'm not sure. I was going to Qs almost every day from 99 until last year. Now I only go about once or twice a month, if that. I moved closer to Richmond so I usually go to Diamond Billiards now. But I'm missing playing 3custion pretty badly.

Oh yea, White, who lived in his van back of the pool hall, like you said different location then.

I knew, Cave, Mel, Onion, Bob, just about all the players. Jimmy was a fellow I really liked. Very honest. Do they still play?

Did you know a guy they called "Cripple Bill"?

What is your name? My name is Mike Pace. I know most of the current and former players that frequent Q-Masters. I first started going there when the place was in a different location back in 86-88. When I moved to VA in 99, I started going back there. I'm still learning this website too.

It's not easy to learn this program, so I'm not sure you sent me a message and I didn't get it or what.

I know most the older players around the Va. Beach area, but I'm not player. More of a gambler.

Damon, Dewayne and a few others I gave lessons to on base. Q-master was a great place to learn but I have stop playing, and didn't gamble much. I guess pool was always about the money, nothing else.

Well, waiting to see if I know you but I don't think I do.

Peace!

I met Damon long ago, on base and got him started playing pool. I just moved back to Va. Beach area but I don't quite playing pool.

Yeah I know Damon. He lives in Oregon I think now. Haven't seen him in a long time. Well before Dave Bollman passed away

Noooooooooooo, I'm asking if you knew him.
