Good morning, Sir Beard and any others in Jay's most interesting thread. For old duffers like myself this thread is like a high school reunion. I knew a number of these (or those, depending on whether or not they're still vertical) guys. Does anyone out there know how Ronnie Sypher lost his...

My private message privledges have been suspended until I empty my mail box. Problem is, it links me to so many of you people and I don't want to lose track, just because our $ business is finished. As soon as I figure out something, I'll empty it. In the meantime, if you need to contact me for...

My DVDs have arrived, at least enough to cover my obligations. Now, once again, my living room is cluttered with envelopes, stamps and some pretty good DVDs and books.

In their later years (mine too) I traveled to some pretty interesting parts of the world with Eddie Taylor and Bill "Weenie Beanie" Staton. I loved them and their families like life itself. Anyone who knows me knows I always have a camera or cameras with me. Consequently, I have a plethora of...

Good by my old friend I didn't know the professor well, but I knew a Grady before that. We traveled, laughed and chopped up scores together. We slept in crummy motels and pooled our last money together many times to escape some dumpy pool room in some cheesy little town. But, we would get the...
