Real close, Blackjack, but Reed didn't make this one. Another hint. Number 7 is also in this photo.

Quite a few are Jackson locals, d_flash. Were you playing back in 87?

flash was playing something else then, as was I,,,we were playing school teacher,,,,somewhere around '82, '83 I was called on the carpet and informed that schoolteachers in that school system did not play pool with their students in the pool hall downtown,,,the retirement looked too good, I laid my stick down and did not play again until january '03,,,I'm making slow progress, can occasionally run an 8-ball rack, can run a few 9-ball racks, haven't won any tournaments, BUT I'm working on it,,,,,LOL

I think I made the right decision then ('82, '83) 'cause I'm making more in retirement than I ever did teaching,,,,,,,,,,so goes life.

Are you going to be at Lacey's this weekend for that tournament and 10 ball ring game?

The boy did put on a bit of weight since 1987.

Wow! I never would have worked out that was JJ. Thanks for a good quiz, Hemi. I'm always up for a challenge.

By the way, Hemi, an old timer who I thought hit 'em pretty straight but whose name I haven't come across in quite some time was Toby Sweet of Florida. Do you have any recollection of him?

The guy in your original picture IS NOT Jeremy Jones.


Hey $Bill, I showed the picture to Dan Louie and Rich Geiler and they both said the same thing, that the guy next to Louie Roberts isn't Jeremy Jones, coulda fooled me. They ID'd a bunch of the other players too.

I said the same exact thing when I saw the guy, Watchez. I didn't believe it either. In fact, I have to agree with you. Two of the guys in the photo IDed him as JJ. They both said JJ was at the tourney and couldn't find him any where else in the photo so they assumed that had to be him.

Like I said, I agree with, Watchez. That guy can not be JJ. He has to be older than JJ would have been at that time.

Lunchmoney, did, Dan, know who the guy was?

No he didn't $Bill, I asked the same thing and Dan said that all he knew was that it wasn't Jeremy.

I like your work Deanna but the pictures seem awful pixilated.

All of my wallpapers are high resolution, and created for 1024x768 screens, so depending on your desktop, it will appear pixelated unless you choose to "Stretch"(or Center, depending on the shape of your screen) in the desktop options, so it will shrink it to fit best, rather than smoosh it, so to speak, causing the pixelation on smaller resolution screens.

I can assure you, they are all in correct pixelation. :D I make sure all of mine are very clear.
