My pal Little Pup died 3 yrs ago at 13. His picture is on my computer and I shed a tear for him every single day. I have two new ones, Kaiser Boy (2 1/2) and I just got Gretchen, a Doxie. Love them better than people. Beard Will Rogers once said, "If dogs cant go to heaven, then I want to...

I am growing tired of this ridiculous argument. Most of the opinions are coming from those who eons away from actual facts or the truth. Few are qualified to give an opinion. I am 73 and when I seen Fats I was in my 20s and he still was past his prime at that time. He still played pretty...

Keith and I have been involved in many a bark fest. Keith, Cole, Ronnie, Jersey Red, CornBread, are all journeyman woofers. Beard

[/B] Gerry, we would love to have you over there. I would provide any cover you might need against SJD.:thumbup: Beard

Once Fats died I could give the world the call eight when it came to woofin - especially in dangerous joints. Not a brag, just a fact.:thumbup: Beard Anybody can bark in those sissy, soda-pop joints. Just ask Jay Helfert if I had any shy in me in those murder spots.

Talent is wonderful, but hard work and dedication can be rewarded. I was a ham n egger pool player for 16 years. Just a bum shortstop. I became a player overnight at age 30. I had taken lessons for all that time without much result. Finally, I spent a week with Gene Skinner, a pretty much...

Once or twice or a thousand times, but only on the forums, I never came across him in my 50 yrs cross-country on the road. Actually, he does appear as an author of a road story in my book the "Encyclopedia...." I have no problem with the story, just him. Beard Serious offer: A free...

Would it seem untoward of me to have derived an unreasonable pleasure surge after I read post #47 on this thread?:thumbup: Beard The Bible says it best, "As ye shall sow, so shall ye reap.";)

David Bond (Mr Bond) is an avid pool maniac and I had a good time with him in our interview. This whole show (including the rest of the crew, Howerton, Allison, etc.), I believe, is heading in the right direction. Beard

Thanks Jammy. I dont know him but he should know me. I hung out with all the magoo's in Hot springs, Sammy Eubank, etc., and they only had one poolroom in town. Beard Plus I spent much time at Oaklawn Park Race Track.

No, he is not, but I would like to contact him as he is from Hot Springs, AR. Hot Springs is a second home for me for the last 50 years. It is amazing that I dont know him since he is apparently a pool bug. I would like to find a way to contact him as he now in Brooklyn and I am going to be...

Jake Dyer is a great guy and a great pool writer. Tom Shaw of Pool and Billiard Magazine has also promised me a review. Beard

I have a Gold Crown in my game room and I sometimes give lessons - but only to motivated players. You can PM me for details. Beard

Mac, I got all the ham I need to handle those eggs. Shy I aint. To me those celebs are just people who cant make a ball! Beard

Well, sorry guys, but I didn't know Marty at all before this. He solicited me off of FaceBook for an interview. (I do know that I didnt get a chance to do much talking!) I was just trying to promote my book launch in NY, Apr 8th -- 12th. Beard

Oh yeah, this is the publicity head-shot that my daughter made me take for the invite brochure: (Yes, it has been air-brushed.) Beard

My darling daughter Catherine has put all this together. I aint all that anxious to do this, even tho I aint shy, and I do have enough prerequisite ham. (Dealing with the square john public is not usually in my wheelhouse.) A lot of nice people, friends and notables have promised to show up so...

Didnt read all the other posts. Didnt need to. This is the best pool idea I have ever heard in my 50 plus years in the game! Beard Count on me for support

Hoppe, Schaefer, Cochran and other champs, were trained as youths by the billiards master, Professor Lansing Perkins of Chicago. He was a brutal taskmaster, only allowing the students to learn how to play with first only one ball on the table. Hours and hours later, he would finally introduce...
