Where did they go?

Occasionally here on the forum I see threads wondering where certain players are nowadays. I have three players that easily come to mind and makes me wonder what's going on in their lives...and if they even play competitive pool much anymore. The three players are:

Gabe Owen (OK)
Sylver Ochoa (TX)
Adam Smith (MI)

Haven't heard anything about them in a while. Anybody know anything on these three guys?

It seems they just fade away into obscurity...

You could add so many more to that list even once top players who actually made
millions playing the game like Grady Seasons did buy haven't been seen in years.:D

Gabe played pretty good in the ring-game at Shreveport recently. He builds cues with his dad Bob in Wichita. With the free entry i'd assume he's going to play at the Open in Vegas. He'll most likely be at Olathe this week. Sylver still plays locally in Houston area. He's doin' the family thing now. Smith lives in Ohio somewhere. Think he still plays some.
