Crazy Frank had lots of moves----here's a few. He would put some powder on his hands and wait until the perfect moment to slap them together and act like he was rubbin it in but in reality was creating a dust cloud .to shark his opponent.....or say you were playing straight pool....and the cue...

He was an old timer from the day I first met him.--Slim was around all the action pool halls in Buffalo New York...----He knew Grover --Crazy Frank --Jerry---I used to pick him up and ride him to different pool halls before I left for New Orleans to live.-----The last time I saw him I was...

you can still smoke in New Orleans Seems to me that Paul's room had a head start on the smoking ban. With such an extensive list of rules on who can get in he already weeded the "less intelligent" group out. There shouldn't have been any idiots left who smoke.----We can still smoke in New...

I think we're on the wrong side. All I know is one time at a tournament in Birmingham we were betting matches and it was Jimmy Marino vs David Howard....now we had heard of Little David but being new to the scene Jimmy Marino was not someone I had heard of. So we bet a hundred or two and now...

was Louie originally in on the Busch league? If I am remembering right I think Louie told me he was one of the originall owners of the Busch League. I believe he told me something like 15 or 18 percent.-- Whether that is true or not I don't know but I know that's what he told me. And that he...

Louie in New orleans I wrote a kind of fun Louie story on this thread already but there were others that weren"t so great. While he was in New Orleans I tried to get him to stop drinking-- but shortly after he was detoxin' kind of bad so I took him to the VA hospital to get some help. I...

I hung out with Louie in New Orleans a bit. One very late night we were both "wired" up at the house and Louie took to the telephone and I swear I never laughed so hard over the people he called. I started to write them all down and later read them all back to him....He called Jim Rempe to...

During Hurricane Katrina Howard had a cue repair shop at Buffalo's Billiards in Chalmette La. Well those of us foolish enough to stay rode the storm out in an apartment on the second floor above the pool hall. Howard stayed down below. The water rushed up so fast Howard didn't have enough...

As anyone out there seen or heard from Howard Ikeda lately? He was well liked in New Orleans and was last living In Las Vegas.

hello from Buffthestuff Well for the most part i usually post my pool room related stuff on the nola site figuring that it's in my best interest to play to a more local audience. But lately that site has less and less traffic so i have decided to join the fun on AZ....Thank's everyone for the...

Buffalo Jerry and Crazy Frank..... Grover Lines, Crazy Frank Piesecki and Buffalo Jerry were about the 3 best players that actually stayed in Buffalo. Danny D wasn't around much and there was Phil Fasciano also when he felt like playing.....Jerry wasn't around that much either. I remember...
