Welcome
Welcome aboard Mr Glenn I had the pleasure of being introduced to you many years ago.I was well aware of you having an extensive collection of Bushkas but never knew your collection was that extensive of all Billiards. Tables, Balls, pictures etc.
You and your family have really preserved the History of Pool in America.
Thank you for all the passion.

I agree 100%. Nothing wrong with collecting cues for the artistry by any means -- but this is more impressive to me. True historical game-used provenance by our greatest champions. The "sports memorabilia" aspect of collecting is far more interesting to me than being an art collector. But, that's just my personal perspective.
Thank you, Mr. Glenn for sharing your family's amazing collection!
Denny...Thanks for sharing a look at some of your incredible collection. I also wish for a brick & mortar HOF where this could be permanently displayed.

Well...for Luther Lassiter, I have 7 or 8 of Luther's cues, including his first cue as a teenage boy. His favorite cue was the Balabushka that I have with the linen wrap and wooden grip. His Martin cue which he had wrapped in leather (simulated alligator) TWICE which he carried in his Martin case, Billy Stroud gave to me in Austin, Texas 25-30 years ago. Luther Lassiter was his great friend and gave him the Martin case while Billy was still playing.

Thank you all for your interest and all your support. We have to get our connections together to get this where it needs to go and where it can be properly displayed. I am working on an alphbetical inventory/list of the player's cues in this collection. It is taking me a while...50 plus years. Ha.
Who owned and played with these cues and the stories behind them is the most interesting part of it all.
For some people that are still with us and still playing, it reads like a script from "This is Your Life".
Notably, ...Marshall SQUIRREL Carpenter, Danny DiLiberto, Billy Incardona, Jimmy Mataya, Truman Hougue, Bucktooth Cook, Artie Boedendorfer, Danny Janes, Richard Black Bill Schick, Ernie Guitterez, Richard Helmstetter...and so many more.

Many of you know how to get in touch with me. I'm working hard on this all the time. I'm a dinosaur. I'm not good at Instagramming, Facebooking or posting on these forums...but, I have some help and I'lll try my best.
THANK YOU,
Denny
THANK YOU,

Great info, Denny. I have a feeling the first two pictures here are the most interesting to people, to know what they are, and I threw in his Martin and Rambow also.
All the best,
WW

Beautiful video, Denny. It's great to see you posting.
Great to see my buddy Dennis posting and sharing some info on his wonderful collection
I remember meeting his father for the first time in Dallas
I thought he was just another older pool player
I didn't realize I was talking to the most successful pool hustler that ever lived
So when he suggested one pocket I was expecting to make a nice deposit into my account
Well Pete left town with my Szamboti,Balabushka and Gina cue
He was such a nice guy that I loaned him a case to carry the cues home
He gave me Denny's phone number and I waited 6 months before calling
When Denny answered I told him what happened and he offered consolation
Little did I realize I was making a friend that i am not ashamed to say I love
like a brother i never had
To share in a very small way in helping him collect pool stuff
provided me the motivation to stick around pool
The Hall of Fame of pool must contain these treasures
Denny loves pool, in a way, the life of Denny is pool,in the best way possible
