Varner, Incardona, Rempe, Paul Gerni, Joey Gold, Joe (Smokey) Bartlett played there.
Mike Sigel, didn’t play but gambled there.
Greg Sullivan was there but didn’t play.

Why should we still care about Johnston City, now a half-century later? There are plenty of reasons, but foremost is that the tournaments changed American pool forever.

Rempe is the only living player from that list.

Don’t know the guy, but always chuckle at the laugh he types, “Bwaahaa!”

Look at the first post! Incardona is the 2nd name I list.
I know Billy plenty well.

Its 'Allen' and i don't think he played at JC. He was only 21 when it shut down. Think he was pretty much all east-coast at that time.
