By the way, what was Na Na's real name?

Don't know. I think Sonny was originally from Lake Charles, La.

I feel better knowing I wasn't the Lone Ranger:)

I can't say I knew her, but when you saw her around the tournaments she always seemed like the nicest person ever. Class act.

You make a point, but you have to admit that driving doesn't require a lot of intelligence or skill, just attention.

Sounds just like him!

Sorry to hear that.

Yes, that's the Ralph I'm talking about, I just had the last name wrong. What ever happened to him? He'd come to the tournaments in Lake Charles and we'd always hang out and shoot the bull. He knew all the pool players and always had interesting stories. Did he ever tell you about the...

You sound so much like me 'til is scary. I bet on pool, but I never considered myself a gambler. Never visit the casino's and never buy the lottery tickets. But I do agree with Fast Eddie in The Color of Money..."Money won is twice as sweet as money earned".

Probably not the first time I replied to that comment either:)

Really sorry to hear that. I met him at the old LeCue downtown on the corner of Fannin and Rusk. Probably in the late 1970's. I was still pretty green back then. I hung up a ball in one of those "true champion" pockets. Some body said "Don't feel bad, Mr. Buddy Hall hung up a ball in that...

If I remember right, Na-Na was pretty good with the dice too.

Sorry to hear that. Do you know where he was when he died?

Knew a guy who fit this description to a tee. He played around Lake Charles, La. for a while in the late 1990's. World beater. The more money you bet the better he played. Did he ever tell you the story about when his wife sent him out to get a loaf of bread?

Is this the same Mike who hung out around Lake Charles, La for a while in the late 1990's? Did he ever tell you the story about when his wife sent him out to get a loaf of bread?

Did anybody video the run for us to see?

You asked somebody if they knew my buddy Phillip. We didn't run in the same circles, but we'd come across each other in pool halls here and there. He always try to get me to play some, but he was only joking because he knew I wasn't crazy enough to get on the table with him. Somebody told me...

Sure, Phillip was from around Port Arthur. They tell me his last name was Hyde??? We'd always shoot the bull when we'd see each other, but I never was good enough to play pool with him. First time I ever met him he said if I could call somebody to play, he'd give them the 4 and 5 in six ball...

Seems like a lot of the comments have drifted far away from Houston Legends. Please stay focused.
