Please help with Rich article

If you Google "Abe Rich and Family," you will find the Wikipedia article I've posted on Issy, Saul, Morris, and Abe Rich, makers of Bowery Cues, Rich Cues, Florida Cues, and Star Cues. Abe is in the International Cuemakers Hall of Fame. Articles about the family are listed in the Blue Book of Pool Cues under "Blatt Billiards," "Rich Cues," and "Star Cues."

If you have any stories, reminiscences about the family, please add to the Wiki or this thread. I am trying to set the record straight. For example, Rich Cue is listed in the Blue Book as having been in Freeport since 1912, yet Saul Rich was clearly working on the Bowery in 1963 and the Nassau phone book gives the address of Rich Cue as Valley Stream.

I used to go down to his shop just to chit chat.....

Unreal nice guy, and always loved to gab. I'm also certain there are very few cue makers that turn cues like he did, or could! His wood collection was also unreal. This was around the Early 90's

I appreciated him taking the time to talk shop with me a few times!
