Help Needed? Need Picture of Player

Snapshot9 said:

I am on the selection committee for establishing a Wichita Pool Players Hall of Fame. We are doing this in a professional manner, and our exhibits will reflect that.

We have selected 3 players for our first year. One of the inductees is
Greg 'Big Train' Stevens, who has passed. We have several stories about him,
but we need a picture of him. He was active during the 60's and 70's.

We have tried through family and friends to no avail, and I was wondering if any of our members here might have a picture of him from his playing days. I can be contacted
here on AZ, pm me please, or by email at Snapshot9Scott@cox.net

I saw a post on AZ that led to a site of pictures of old timers. Because I am old it was of some interest to me. There is one of him there.

Hey guys this is the info that I got from Mary Kenniston about the posted photo....

Hi Shaun, Only have one - this was given to me by Bill Staton ("Weenie Beenie"). I was told it's from the back room at the '64 Johnston City. I went to the thread you're referencing. Someone posted the same pic - someone else claims it's bogus. I don't know on what basis he thinks that's the case. Here's the details: Beenie is shooting - Harry Petros with the cue. The railbirds are Don Watson, Joey Spaeth, Craig Stevens & Billy Mullins. Craig Stevens, not Greg. Common mistake.

His given name was Greg, he just used Craig when on the road. He had a family game room here in Wichita for years, and the sign out front said, 'Greg Stevens Family Game Room'. I saw him twice in the 70's at Burke's Steakhouse.

The 3rd railbird from the left in that picture does not resemble him to me from when I saw him. Greg was not that heavy at all. The 4th guy from the left looks closer to him than the 3rd.
