If you remind me, when the Derby is over, I'll tell you some "Lloyd" tales. I refer to Lloyd who used to hang around Fred's place in El Monte. I don't mind if posters precede me with stories. For Lloyd's time he was one of a kind. Just to whet your appetite, Lloyd would lay anybody in the world...

Pics Why don't you contact Conrad Burkman,Bill? He'll probably be at the DCC. Grady

Thanks Thanks again, everybody. I look forward to seeing you again, Ekkes.

Bruce I'll take two large in the black. See you at the DCC. Grady

Thanks Thanks more than I can put into words, venerable posters.

Does anybody have Tony's numbers? I lost them and I need to talk to him. Thanks, Grady

You can order the book by sending $23 to Grady Mathews 850 C. South Lake Dr. Lexington, SC 29072 I could do 10 Ball but it's a lot of work and I've found the 9 ball players to be much harder to deal with and less dependable than the Bank pool players

We're only a month away from the DCC. I have three players for the Bank Pool ring game, Shannon, Brian Gregg and Truman. It's $1,500 this time. Get your entry fees in. Don't get shut out of this most exciting affair. Grady

Good stuff Wow, I never dreamed Ernie might still be alive. Tell him hello for me, Joey. Nice post.

You must be kidding. right. One year on the Camel tour, there were eight tournaments. Francisco won three and finished second in two others. Anyway, by the way I figure things, two seconds in major events equals at least one first. I don't see anybody hustlin' Busta to play for money either.

Further fodder for your perusal For whoever asked, it was a furniture table, which reposed in his screening room. He would have been a lot better off getting a good Diamond smart table. The lesson didn't go as well as I had hoped, for two reasons: 1. The aforementioned furniture table, which...

I know these guys One of these guys is president of a big movie company. The other is high up in TV productions. They took out an ad in BD once stating that one of them beat the other. They play at the presidents house in Malibu regularly. His gate costs more than any house I ever owned. I know...

Here's my humble offerings How you doin', my friend, Here are some of my personal favorites, if you don't mind my including a couple of my matches: Efren vs Shannon at one of my Baton Rouge Legends events. Pat will know which one. Jimmy Fusco vs Varner player review at Legends tournament at...

I first met mike in the 60's, when he worked for Weenie Beenie. He was a good player then, and although I didn't play him at the time, I enjoyed his help and how to match up with the locals. Jack and Jills, in Arlington,V.A., just off Glebe road might have been the greatest action joint ever...

But There are two men alive who could answer questions on this topic: Marshall "Squirrel" Carpenter and the great "Brooklyn Jimmy". Freddie has Jimmy's number and I have Squirrel's but I'm hesitant to give it out. Since the plyers talked about here were/are a generation older than I, I really...

My personal list has a four way tie for first. Some considerees are still alive and I'd be risking my life if I mentioned them. After they pass I'll gladly share. I don't have time right now to answer lots of questions. This is just a sampling of what's to come. In no special order they are...

Probably not I lived in Houston 69' to 70', OKC 71' and 72', then Colo. Spgs. for 9 years. I did live in socal for a couple of years in the late 60's. During that period I played anyone on the bar box and don't remember losing.

I'll be there I will indeed attend the DCC. It's not too early for getting in my ring game(s). Thanks much for all the positive responses to my Weldon tales.

Weldon Rodgers and “Bakersfield Bob” were both from a small town in Arizona, Eloi I think. I don’t remember, for a goodly number of years, anybody beating any of us playing even up bar pool. Weldon and Bobby played great with the big rock while I did most of the small cue ball playing. We ended...

My Weldom stuff I looked in my files and I have quite a bit of material about Weldon. I don't want to have to type it all again. I have a friend who is going to help me transfer it. So it is forthcoming. Thanks for your interest in a great old time player.
