Prayer said. Luckily it is contained in the prostate. By the time mine was caught it had gotten outside the prostate into the margins. That was way back in 1995. Cancer came back late 98 and I had 39 days of radiation, which is normally the next step after having had surgery. Came back again in 2001 and I have been on Lupron injections ever since. That is 18 yrs and I feel great. I'm sure that you and your brother will have many, many good times ahead of you! Make the most of them.

Tell Calvin to hurry up and get better so we can play a "20 Ahead" set.
Tell Calvin to hurry up and get better so we can play a "20 Ahead" set (Roll Out of course
). Calvin's the toughest "hombre" I"ve ever encountered on the bar table. I still remember after playing for 5 straight days in Hutchinson Ks. Calvin came in my hotel room and was doing push ups......talk about endurance! Best Wishes "Country Calvin"....may the Grace of Recovery be with you. God Bless

Best wishes and prayers to Calvin.
David, give my best to Calvin for a speedy recovery. The Harcows come from good stock, and I'm sure he'll be fine...Take care of yourself too, and don't forget YOUR regular check-ups. Sad thing about that damn disease is, once it is discovered in the family, the risk of siblings aquiring it, goes up..If you ever have to deal with it, catch it early, like Calvin did !
PS..Say hi to Mike M. (the Beatle,:wink
for me, next time you see him..Best Regards

Many thanks to everyone!
I would like to say this to all that Calvin and I give many thanks to you all, I told Calvin that many here on AZB have given many well wishes and prayers and he was so surprised, he sends his personal thanks to you all.
After Calvin has had surgery and recovered I'll let you know how he's doing.

Hey David.
Just tell him the Razorbacks are going to have a good team this fall, that should do it. :thumbup: Hope you're doing well and don't forget that fishing season is coming up, so start icing your beer coozies.
hey David,
Best to Calvin and happy to learn Mike had called. he is a great guy too.
Stay positive and strong. It has been a tough year for may and I hope Calvin continues with that strong mentality. The man is a damn Warrior!
God bless!

Calvin feels pretty good I guess, he won a local tournament last night, but those boys in Texarkana play pretty good, they have had a good teacher for the last 20 yrs.

Lynn Smith
Thanks man,
I've known big Lynn for for 35 yrs. and Calvin has known him even longer, Lynn can certainly tell you some great stories about his pool playing over the years, I know Lynn is a gentleman and the most honest poolplayer that I've ever met, and he is extremely hard to beat on his home court.
Lynn and I have gone to many tournaments over the years together, been to the Rack tournament in Memphis, TN. many times back in the 90's, back then they took as many that wanted to play.
This one tournament at the Rack had 176 players in it, the tournament was non-stop 24 hours aday, it ended on a Monday around noon!
The bad thing about it was Lynn and I traveled together and out of the 176 players , Lynn and I drawed each other right out of the gate!....of course Lynn beat me, but I made it to the top 32 and had Richie Richerson down 5 zip going to 7 , but lost to him, had a great time though!
Lynn and I had part of Jack Hynes in the calcutta and he won, so we did OK!
That was a fun tourney!

David, my thoughts and prayers go out to Calvin.
I was just at my APPA Arkansas state tournaments this past weekend listening to Lynn Smith reminisce about the old days. It was after-hours at Beezer's in Russellville, so I was dragging every story and bit of pool knowledge I could wring out of him. He mentioned you and Calvin several times.
Maybe someday we'll all get a chance to play a game of Scotch Doubles together.
