Saturday I mailed another beautiful, great hitting cue for Dean. It's a Hoppe
tribute by Schon. As many of you know Dean and I have been friends for
over 50 yrs.He sends me cues to "borrow" and try out. "Play with it as long
as you like".I clean and re-condition the shafts put expensive new tips on
and get them in new condition. Then what do you know they're sold. When
I received this cue, I opened it and looked over at my beautiful wife of
48 yrs. She had tear in her eye. What's wrong don't you feel well ? She
said that cue looks like the Balabushka you had when we first met. You were
doing charity work at the retirement homes, going around and playing
pool with those elderly gentlemen always letting them win. I,ll never
forget when one of them told you he had had a cue like that but had to
sell it to buy his prune juice when he came here. You were so touched
you gave him yours.Buy this from Dean she said.I told her no,with you being
ill and raising our grandson I could not justify that. We'll give him a deposit
so he won't sell it and I will cut back on my medication, and little Jonah
said he would skip his lunch while we saved up the money.They insisted
so I did .In a short time Dean calls and says I sold that cue,I want to give
my swimming pool maintenance man a huge tip, he did a good job last
week. Don't worry he says I'll send you another next week, but you do
understand that ,that deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Well it's on the way and I'm sure G. M. will be very pleased.
