Hall of Famer

My good friend Dennis Deickman was just elected to the International cue builders hall of fame.

Also my good friend Leaonard Bludworth recieved a American Cuemakers hall of fame award. Both during the SBE.

Just thought I would share that.

Congradulations to both these fine gentlemen.

Nice to see you again at breakfast. Tell your friend from Pittsburgh the boys from Boston said hi. He had our ear for a solid hour and was a great guy.

Take care,

Glad to see you still checking us out. Do you still masse practice with that very special design Dieckman's Masse Cue. Dieckman spent along with Johnson a couple of day with me in Virginia Beach, Va, before heading to SBE. Its was about time he got into the Hall.

I went to the awards for both men. I spent the week hanging with Dennis and Bill. I consider them family after the way they treated me. Some of the finest people out there.

No practice anymore, I hadn't shot masse in over 18 months before SBE, I live in NC and my kind of masse is prohibited in the local halls. I don't practice geometric tricks it doesnt help to practice the set ups they will go as long as you took the proper time to learn each shot, and you don't forget. I do however need to practice the crazy masse or my accuracy goes down.

I couldn't make all of my old shots all the time but, last week I did make all but one. It was the best event I had ever been to.

The last day the event was open I started to do a show at the predator booth. Things were going great the crowd was starting to get pretty big I was making all the shots and then it happend. The Magic wand bit me, right where I hold it with my stroke hand no less.

I started bleading and couldn't stop. Shows over again I am sorry to everyone that was there, I had to stop... I sent the cue back with Dennis and Bill for more parts to be added and soon we will have the fully working and probably the final prototype. We are real close to "perfecting" the design. I told Dennis that if it bites me again I would punch an elephant in the face. That should work don't you think?
