My Thoughts
When another departs, and I know them....Only the happy thoughts surface for me. Went ta' two of his events in VA, the second one the WPBA gals, consolidated, took ahold of their destiny and got their tour going. They got their asses in gear and were on TV allot. I also remember Janette Lee sashaying around in her WHITE East Coast One piece mini skit....with that jet black hair and, well you know that story. Soon after that, she was with Bobby Hunter....ALSO, soon thereafter Allison Fisher arrived and the Black Widow appeared Not a coincidence eh .
Once the event ended, and if I'm correct, the after party was to honor the gals for playing along side the men for years, but it was time to move on:
A wonderful open bar cocktail party with the fancy east coast Shrimp appetizer setup Sunday night was perfect. It was players only. This touch gave us ALL a nice east coast feel of class and exuberance, where No other promoter even came close. Barry had Scott Smith running the event and he was also firing on all cylinders....you ALWAYS knew what table you played on, when you played, and the room atmosphere was ''electric'' especially since Scott the Shot was great at ''lets get ready to rumble'' and he too solidified he was the Greatest TD of all time.... and the new hippo chairs at the time were the nuts. I always felt my 2 finishes of 17-24 held merit and had meaning in my life. I know your resting, and you were ''one of us''....thx for the ride. This pool ain't for No woosies. RIP ma ma man, YOUR legacy will live on.
