    70s/80s Era Questions

    And then you ran across the odd person who either by ignorance or design, sometimes it might not be clear, would put absolutely the wrong cloth on a table. Like the fella I met one time with Simonis 300 (3 cushion cloth) on his Olhausen 8ft home table. Imagine playing on a formica counter top...
