    9 Ball road player 1970s-90’s

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself

    Hi!!! Obviously I’m a newbie to this site. Was lurking for awhile and really enjoyed the stories of the old players. I hail from a very small Kansas town but have lived in Wichita for almost 11 years. My husband Jim has been my mentor, my coach, my opponent lol. We play mostly 9 ball. Winner...
