There is an older man from my area in southeast Missouri named Cotton Smith that was an avid player from the 60's through the 80's. He is an acquaintence of mine, and I see him around the pool hall from time to time but he does not play anymore. I know he played around the Johnson City days...

I would like to wish my friend Lars good luck in the ACUI (intercollegiate)regionals in Indianapolis this weekend. For those who don't know, Lars won the ACUI nationals last year. Good luck Lars.uck Chuck Raulston

watchez Thanks, watchez. It is nice to get to play in it again. At least play in the 9 ball since I can't play in the 8 ball anymore. I haven't seen you in a while. Will you be at Action Billiards this weekend? I will be coming. Chuck Raulston

I would like to congratulate you once again, Tom, on your win. This guy really can play, everyone, and he not only proved it to me, but to the rest of this 96 player field. I also believe he is the oldest person to ever win this event in the 24 year history. That is an accomplishment in its...

No, it went in clean. I actually only used about a half a tip of low and a half a tip of left on the shot. I don't believe that "loading it up" with spin really allows a person to hit the ball any thinner. I think it will take the same path with a half a tip or two and a half tips. Just my...

ok I got it figured out. I didn't have a lot of options on this shot. I could have banked the two cross-side, but I was afraid to kiss off the six. I maybe could have played a safe that was easy to hit, but I was afraid to let him kick at it on a bar table. My only other option was to swing...

WEI Table Tommy, I am not sure how to use the WEI table. If someone will explain it, I will try to explain the shot. Chuck Raulston

Thanks for the compliment, Tommy. I am not exactly sure if I remember the shot you are talking about, but I think it was the shot where I made the two and got hooked behind the nine on the three. It was a big swing. Maybe I'll get the roll next time. Congratulations to Shane as well. Chuck...

Memphis It was a good tournament. They had a full field once again. Shane Jones won the tournament, Mark Allen got second, I got third, can't remember who got fourth, but Darren Everett and Jonathan Hennessee tied for fifth/sixth. I'm not exactly sure about the rest of the field, but they...

Memphis The player was Mark Haddad. He is from L.A. It is a good tournament if you ever get the opportunity to come, Keith. Chuck Raulston

Is anyone going to the event at JOB's this week. I will be leaving tomorrow. Chuck Raulston

I had the pleasure of meeting Rafael at the Rack in Memphis a few years ago. He was an absolutely fabulous player. I heard of his passing from a reliable source at a tournament in Mississippi this weekend. I truly hope the rumors are not true, but it appears as if they are. RIP Rafael...

I agree with the others, but I don't know about that Chuck guy. He can't play. :D

Superbowl Tournament Yes, they will still be having the tournament. It will be on the same weekend. The phone number is 901-369-9501. Do you live in the Missouri bootheel. If so we probably know one another. Chuck Raulston

Fat Randy I saw him last year in Tulsa and Olathe. He is still playing pretty good, but not as good as he used to from what I understand. I believe he is living in Tulsa now, but as Tom said, he has been away to "college" for a long time.

Blytheville Did you play at Pastime Billiards in Blytheville? I live only about an hour and a half from there in Poplar Bluff, MO and played down there a few times when I was younger. I haven't been playing pool nearly that long but I heard the action used to be good in Blytheville. Gary...

Congrats Congratulations Charlie, I knew you'd been hitting them good and it was just a matter of time. Give me a call sometime; my phone got stolen and your number went with it. Let me know about any events coming up. Chuck Raulston

Thanks, Keith Thanks for the reply on Brian Atchley, Keith. I have lived here in Poplar Bluff, MO all my life and have never met him, but I heard he played great. I haven't seen you since the Open; are you coming to Shannon's tournament in Knoxville Halloween weekend? Chuck Raulston

Thanks, Keith JAM, Nice to finally see you here. We are WAY past time for a get together. I am glad you can remember all these events and people!! I am reading some of it and thinking ''Oh, yeah. I remember that!". Been too long out of the loop I guess. Talk soon, Phyllis

See ya there I'll see both of you there. This time my mom and dad are both coming. Chuck Raulston
