That's what i was thinking. Is that spelled right? I don't think its Palmer Byrd. I'm working from memory which is, in my case, a sketchy resource indeed.

Totally...and some of her interests could cause her to waiver a bit on this issue, but sometimes, a stone fox too.

Plus, newscasters were far far far less likely to fake a news clip or story back in the day.

You can look at her, listen and learn a bit, about one of the better gambling female players of that time period. Sure Looks, sounds, and moves the ball like Lori, 'cause it's her, not some look alike actress! :scratchhead:
P.S. The only other Michigan girl that set up like that was Vicki Frechen.

Jeepers guys, Vicki Frechen? Palmer Byrd? That is without a doubt, the great Lori Shampo, not some actress. She was credited with the all-time bark at Jeannie Balukas, "I'll shoot your ovaries off!"

I had a serious enough case of the hots for Lori to certainly know what she looked like.

You betcha, Freddy! You know your players. When Lori first showed up on tour, I was astounded. I had never seen a woman play 9-Ball like her, not even Jean. Jean was a great player, but she had that controlled, compact, 14.1 stroke. Lori, on the other hand, was a big stroker, big elbow-dropper, and with a huge break. She could spin the heck out of that cue ball. She reminded me of players like David Howard during that era.

She was my favorite female 9 ball player of all time, because of her game, but also because of all the barriers she had to break way back then which she met head-on.

That probably would be a close 9 ball game gambling. They never did play...did they? Johnnyt

Jean and Lori? Not gambling. I don't think Jean gambled. They played each other in WPBA tournaments. Lori would get nervous in tournaments. Her comfort zone was matching up rather than tournament play. I remember at least two occasions when they played in a tournament --- the finals I think. Jean won, but she was in her comfort zone where Lori was like a fish out of water, itching to get out of the limelight.
