Hi David, You were just lucky; "still counts" said Mickey Rourke in "Bar Fly." Something is wrong though (time or year) because I traded the 1970 purple Cadillac Eldorado in 1976 and had a 1975 Gold Mercedes Benz in 1979. My personal site (http://konnections.net/rodcurry/index.htm) is where I documented some of my accolades from memory. My ex road partner Omaha John once said, "You know when you bet on something but aren't betting real money." I said, "Yes, what happened?" He said, "I blew my mind." Are you related to Country Calvin? Or are you he? I remember, for $50 the latter set up a proposition shot where the object ball was on the rail next to a corner pocket and we had to double-kiss the object ball diagonally the length of the table into the other corner pocket. A difficult shot but I came out on top and now wish I took the initiative more often regarding proposition shots. If I didn't stay in action, I would look for it elsewhere. Thanks, Rod
