His talents seemed to lie where ever he turned. Since the consensus on his age was in the seventies, that puts him being born around the great depression era. Then as a young man WWII was beginning, and ronnie was around all those gals with their boyfriends at war and he still at home. Then the gap before Vietnam when RA Grew Up as a true player, so the hand he was dealt fitted his life between two wars perfectly, and meshed his pool playing life and skills with the greats of the of twenties and thirties. Me being at Johnston city during the Vietnam years was like him being around the likes of Lassiter and that group during the great depression and then WWII. In those days, having an outgoing character definitely helped in life, and to think RA was in his prime then/twice with the ladies, right between two wars,''how they rollin''?
