Cornbread Red was in the first row talking with Fat Randy. Yes, those were the good old days in pool.

Such sad news. Always played with class and played so strong. I really liked seeing him play. Only met once in Houston and he really was a friendly man. So young. RIP, Chang 🙏

This is a very telling statement. Transgender male would probably go 2 and out. I agree with c. above. On the strength theory, how would a woman fare playing golf from the men's tees ? There is something to be said for males to be able, normally, to be exposed to pool at an earlier age...

Brunswick, Balke ans Collender ?

Happy Birthday, Mike 🎂 Thank you for all you do for us pool nuts.(y)

Stationed at Camp Tien Sha, Da Nang in 69 - 70. Naval Support Facility, I worked in payroll. Our gym there had 4 4X8s. Pretty well taken care of, if I remember correctly.

Great post and read. Welcome back and hope to see more from you. Will stop in Metro Sportz Bar next time in Pheonix. Would like to meet and play some one pocket with you. Did you take some spelling lessons while you took your break ? LOL

You are trying to remember Johnny "Ringo" Morrow. Good player with a bad habit.

Wilson King - Houston Whitey. Inherited some money and moved back to New York. I remember at Red's tournament (Ceasar Morales won it), Whitey brought his 70 - 80 year old mother to the tournament and sat her on the front row of bleachers so she could see him play. Always, always played...

No. That is Bill Porter. Bill Mielke could play pretty jam up.

I will add that if you are hustling that you could start off a little lower than beating Justin Hall. Another thing, was it in a tournament or gambling ?:confused:

I'll put my chance in for book. :p(y)

I have often wondered about that myself. Owner - Bobby Goad - was from Ft Worth, had a fairly successful bar and pool business here. He and his pretty wife, Janet, moved to Colorado Springs and opened first Pinkies. Named after his wife's fingernails, I think. Janet always wore hot pink nail...

Knew Jeff well from many years of seeing him and playing against him at Oklahoma and Texas pool tournaments. Jeff was a great player, but more than that, he was a better person. Like Garczar said, Jeff could keep you laughing. The pool world around here will sure miss him. RIP, Jeff.🙏
