Whatever Happened to These Guys?

[grindz]

I may have played this guy, Mark, that you speak of. Never
knew his last name, though. In '89, I was 19 and played
this long haired, straight shooting, ball running machine named
Mark in a few sets of 9 ball. He ran several 3 packs practically
everytime it was his turn at the table.

All I remember is he had a thin mustache, was 18, shot with a
really nice Schon(especially at that time and era), and he said
he was on his way to Kentucky to spend a few days with Shannon
Daulton. I didn't know Shannon back then, but we are good friends
this day and time. I've asked Shannon about this kid named Mark
that I didn't know his last name and Shannon said he didn't know
or remember who that could be. We were playing at Anazeh Sands
in Wyoming, Michigan. Wyoming is pretty close to Grand Rapids for
what it's worth.

Jay, does any of the above hints or descriptions sound like this could
have been Mark Beilfuss? He would probably be around 46 years old
today if we're thinking of the same person. Thanks in advance.

I played at the Sands quite a bit in the 80’s, and heard about Mark B.
I think he had quit already by then.... but not sure of the whole story.
May be a little older than your estimate also... Haven’t been around
There in a long time, so I don’t know who that could be.. I heard he
Has an adult son who plays??

Thanks for the info. Not that it makes any difference, but
I'm going to go back and edit the year, it was 1990 instead
of 1989. I was 1 year older than this dude, but he'd still be
46 today. Maybe this isn't the same guy, but we'll see if Jay
or anyone else can shed some more info on it.

Thanks again.

P.S. I was only up there for a week, but that was a nice room
and 24/7 to boot......awesome!
