I read she is married to Bert Kinister but can't find anything at all about any of the relationships on the internet. It is not a big deal, I am just curious. Seems unlikely to be a coincidence. She seems to be a great player in her own right.
 
Wasnt Earl Strickland married to a doctor at one time?

I thought I heard that years ago.

Bert spent years coaching her, private lessons.

Sorry to hear that. It is funny how little is known about so many of the players. I looked everywhere to get some kind of play history for most of the popular instructors and CJ is the only one I could find anything on.

No relation. Bert was married in IL many years ago...never to Orietta, though.

...and Earl married to a doctor? LMAO...also never happened.

I spent yrs around Bert and Orietta, on a daily basis, and have played them both multiple times. I was always under the impression they were married. Pretty sure they were, at least that is the way they portrayed it. They lived together, and played together everyday. They spent hrs and hrs working on her game, just about daily. He's an eccentric, frenetic old geezer to say the least. They have split up though. It's was a crazy situation to begin with. No relation to Earl Strickland at all.
