John Nemek In the Dallas area, John Nemec is known for his cue repair work, which is absolutely excellent. John told me that he has made a hundred cues and has shipped them all over the world. He does not spend any money on advertising and has all the work he can handle. He makes a custom...

Wouldnt it be great to watch the Mosconi cup Europeans playing Efren, Francisco, Dennis, Lee Van, Jose, etc for the "Players Cup"?

Hawleys Hawleys is completely out of business the last time I heard. They auctioned off everything recently.

Pool Photos I spent about 32 years with the Dallas Police Department and 20 years of it as a detective in the Swindle Squad. But I have been playing pool about 45 years or more and it all started when I bought an old Willie Hoppe for $8.00. My parents were convinced that I would be ruined and...

Pool Photos About every 3-4 months I go to the websight and view some of the photos Bill and I took during the 1980's. I enjoy them all over again.......

Viattorre Cues Jackson Tan is no longer, (I believe I am correct), making cues but those he did make are loved by every owner. I have one that is for sale. They are really hard to find. Send me your email and I will send you some photos of the cue I have.

Torn retina At first I did not think you would get many responses to your inquirey about a torn retina. When the doctor examined me, he told me we would be in surgery in 3 hours and to go home and get ready. He wasted no time. So there may be varying degrees of "detachment" . Usually the doctor...

Nothing in Dallas either!! Dallas/Fort Worth area is dead too.

email on Danny M.?? I sure would like to get an email address on Danny Madina. I have a few old photos he might like to use in his book. Can anyone help?

Look at the games as well as the Players Rotation - For years, Efren One Pocket - Efren - By Scott Frost's own evaluation-2 balls better than anyone. Eight Ball - Twice world champion and won the big Trudeaux tournament. Nine Ball - Many players qualify but Efren in mid 50's still ranked...

So Earl's record will probably never be broken....... In support of your argument, that is probably why no one will beat Earl Strickland's US Open 9-Ball record. There are just too many great players which drastically reduces the chances for any player winning the tournament 6 times. It is much...

He is in Texas!! I see Barry Emerson occasionally because he was helping Jeff Sorrells intstall tables (recover tables etc.) He said he was not playing very much. I do not know which suburb he might live in around Dallas. I do not know the exact name of Jeff's billiard/pool business.

Sure looks like the Fillipinos can dominate an entire tournament. Out of the reported 13 fillipinos at the Galveston World Classic, two of the main three pro events were won by them (Efren in the one pocket and Ronnie Alcano in the 8-ball) and Warren Kiamico had a chance to win the 10ball if he...

Bob is doing fine! Bob and Cathy invited me over to eat dinner with them and Mike Massey and Francene when they were in Dallas giving exhibitions. He still runs out at 76 without much problem for someone who doesnt play very much. He plays safetys like Efren when he can't run out. He walks...

Captain Hook I dont know if he played with one, or the cue was just named after him when he worked for Meucci, but it was called a Meucci "Captain Hook". I have had mine for 30 years and got it refinished three years ago. It has some pool balls and a cue on the butt and forearm that are ivory.

Moyers 1984 Go to our web sight at billporter.smugmug.com. I took the photos at the Moyers tournament and Bill edited them. There are photos of Fat Ralph, Bob Vanover, Ambrose, Lizard, U.J. Puckett etc. Hope this is what you want. Smugmug will also make prints of these photos. Mike Haines

Mr. Puckett For photos of Mr. Puckett, go to Billporter.smugmug.com. He is in the Reds gallery and the Austin Tournament gallery. I took a lot of photos of him during those years. Mike Haines
