Yeah...Italian firm, think they make underwear for French people. Maybe a relation to the Gucci's of north New Jersey.

Yeah...I'm sure that Thomas fumes every time he sees this kind of stuff. A friend and I were at the BCA Trade Show a number of years ago. We were in a conversation with Thomas Wayne, Bill Schick, Paul Mottey and a couple of other unknowns. Nearby, Leonard Bludworth and Joe Porper were...

"OSHA approved Anti-CNC hardhat"...LMFAO...you're killing me Joe!

You may have misunderstood the question. I am asking if anyone had any additional information regarding Rafael, not saying that he was dead. I've met Rafael many times and have the highest regard for him. Think you're getting the wrong idea here.

Guess it wasn't "fancy" enough for them! Idiots! And I don't mean that they should have taken the Szam, I mean that if you're going to take the chance on losing your job and possibly future employment, then at least know what the F#$k you're doing.

JAM - Thought that Rodney had his Szamboti stolen enroute to a tournament a while back, did he get it back?

Yeah, that's a good list Randy. How many times did Bob Vanover win the Texas Open?, six or seven?. Think Gilbert Martinez won it three times. Gilbert used to look like Fred Astaire moving around a table. Dick Lane is a great player, but it's like watching grass grow when he plays. Watched a...

I thought that I read that Rafael had died in Mexico a while back. Anyone out there have any info. He was/is a great player.

Oh yeah! And of course the inimitable Smokey Bartlett. I heard that Gilbert moved to Vegas, do you have any contact info for him?

Interesting!...Thanks JAM, I didn't know that they were related.

Blud - met you for the first time at a tournament at "Top Cats"? in San Marcos maybe 15 - 17 years ago...you are a piece of work man!...my thoughts and prayers are with Tim and his family...he is truly one of the greats!...please keep us informed when you hear something.

I have to add Bob Vanover of Texas as my favorite male non-professional player. He truly played (last I saw of him, 10 years ago) at pro-level. Always a gentleman no matter how the game was going or his opponents antics.

Yeah. Retired as a MSgt, definitely not politically correct. Probably the only guy you'll ever hear of that did almost three years on the IG and didn't get a medal out of it. Boy, could I piss of a team chief when I put my mind to it! :D

You had a girlfriend??? Just kidding man! Really, the three things I miss about the East Coast are, the food, the beach, and the characters.

Thought they were both "Little" etc.? I used to live in San Antonio but moved 10 years ago.

Retired after 24 years in the AF. Now work civil service for the AF, don't have to salute anymore! Left handed by the way.

Yeah, probably the same place. Erics is on Airport Blvd in Austin. Great room with some of the best players around. Gilbert Martinez (Little Gilbert) and David Henson were always dangerous when I was going there. The Texas Open is always a great tournament. Can't remember how many times Bob...

All these Air Force guys! I went in in June of '69! Retired in '94 at Randolph AFB in San Antonio. Was brought up outside of Boston. Do we all play left handed?

Efren - absolute master of all games. Vivian Villareal - superb player with a personality second to none and a great person.
