Brag All You Want

Jay, you have all of the right to brag as much as you want.

But, I do have one question about the girl with Fattie. Who think she resembles Charlize Theron?

Look in the top right corner of this link.

You have every right to brag.You are the only one I know who played during Mosconi time and knew every one of them and at the same time u know every young player of the current generation.Some of the older guys who are still alive who knew the players from Mosconi time do not know the younger generation players.

You are a LINKING BRIDGE between the old and young. U need to publish that book soon.:smile:

Thanks for the great link of cool pool pics. I really enjoyed seeing them.

I grew up in the D.C. area, and I remember those Weenie Beenie hot dog stands well in Northern Virginia. I had no idea who Weenie Beenie was at that time, though! :o

Here's the Weenie Beenie link on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weenie_Beenie

There's also a Wikipedia article on Bill Staton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Staton
 
In the Mosconi 2 pic, the cutie just to his right trying to see, is my wifey, and the skinny guy to her right, is Tom Haygood, the best player in Bishop,TX, god rest his sole.
