Bump Sad news. Nicely written post. Besides all the things you mentioned that Bob has done for pool, let's not forget about him helping mentor and develop John Schmidt! That alone makes him special! Will be praying for the Lord to bless him thru this trial.

If Alex stayed with pool no telling how many titles he'd win. His heart is divided between poker & pool. He got famous in pool. That's a hint to him if he's peeking in here. :) I came so close to adding SVB in my previous post. I actually went back in and intended to "edit" it to include him...

Great list & post Jay. I'd add Po Cheng Kuo and Jung-Lin Chang to the list of best active 9 ballers. Much as I like Souquet & respect what he's accomplished, I think these two are now above him and Orcollo in the pecking order. When Wu returns, I think a lot of mental pressure will be off of...

One of our most beloved.... Happy Birthday Pat! Not enough space to do justice to how much you are appreciated, respected and valued by those of us in pooldom. And I'm sure your family loves you even more! You're a wonderful person Pat! May many blessings be yours!

Best wishes for a total recovery, as well as many more years of good health ahead. You're in our prayers.

I was looking at Shannon Daulton's website and seen that they are now offering t-shirts for sale. Here's the link...... http://www.greatsouthernbilliardtour.com/store#ecwid:category=499055&mode=category&offset=0&sort=normal I wear a KFCues hat, an Accu-Stats hat or a Brunswick hat most of the...

Happy Birthday Lewis! Thanks for all your contributions here! Hope you have a great celebration and that the year ahead will be a very good one for you.

Sherm Adamson is fun to talk with, he did some superb work on my cues and is very fair price wise. Oh yea, he also beat his deadline on returning them and then followed up with a note making sure I received them back and that they were done as I had requested. He ranks an A+ in my opinion.

Good words. My all time favorite women's player was Allison Fisher. "Was" because she's now in 2nd place. Jasmin is my new favorite female player. #3 is Xiaoting Pan. 4 is Jennifer Chen. 5. Monica Webb. As far as I know, Jasmin, Pan & Chen are heterosexual. If they weren't, it would not...

Happy Birthday Freddy! Best wishes for a great year ahead!

Happy Birthday Joe! I hope this is a good day for you and I wish you have a great year ahead!

I don't have anything listed about there being a 2nd Burlington tournament. The December 1975 issue of The National Billiards News has a lot of info about this event. I'll peek around in the next day or so to better find out about a 2nd Burlington event.

Fred, The dates it was played was Thursday Oct 30, 1975 to Sunday Nov 2, 1975. It was sponsored by the "World Nine Ball Association" P.O.Box 227 Galesburg, Il 61401. Dick Coffey was the other promoter. I have loads of info on this tournament, so I don't know what other parts would interest...

Way too many dream matches..... Too impossible to narrow it down to just one. 14.1- Oliver Ortmann vs Thomas Engert race to 1,500 John Schmidt vs Mike Sigel race to 1,500 9 Ball- Fong Pang Chao vs Earl Strickland race to 100 Po Cheng Kuo vs Jung-Lin Chang race to 100 1P-...

Thanks for the updated info Tommy!

Look, you're still fresh out of surgery. You really shouldn't be talking about "die" & "death" just yet! :eek: At least wait till they get the tubes out of you! Just saying...:grin: Let's give this thread a little "Bump for Band-Aids" until we get some really gory stories of mayhem and...

No offence taken at all ever! :) I've reached the age (51) where all I can hope for now is to maintain anything I got left in pool! I'm no threat to win the U.S. Open, so don't ever pick me in a calcutta should I someday venture there. I'm just a short-stop in pool. That being said, I can't...

You can't leave us hanging like that Oh do tell! Some of the best and funniest stories ever are about how we mangled ourselves during Evel Knievel-like adventures! If you are ever up to it, please feel free to enlighten us about some of the havoc you caused your body! That would be an...

Unscientific findings..... I liked bowling a lot, especially when we were kids. The Alpine was a bowling center that had leagues for kids. Me and one of my brothers were on "The Chimps" or "The Zebras" for several years while in grade school. Fun memories.... I bowled about once a month up...

Cuebuddy, Please let us know how you are when you're up to it, as well as if there is anything you need that any of us could do or help you with. Also, you have made a lot of friends here at AZB. From the type of man you are, I imagine you also have many friends when you're not on AZB. :grin...
