There was a nice crowd there and a few friends, myself included, gave a few eulogies and shared a few stories about our friend. I made mention of my original rating system for the billiard mags, as to how many "sittings" in the donneker each magazine would sustain. The Billiard Digest, mainly because of George's columns, was rated at Two Squats, with George's column often using up a whole squat all by itself. All the other billiard mags were good for One Squat only.
Among the notables in attendance: Mike Panozzo, Larry Schwartz, John the cop Roske, Ed Young the cuemaker, Angel Levine, The Ghost, Ted from this forum, George Pawelski, etc.,etc. Mr 3Cushion sent an email for Angel to read.
Goodbye Pal. I will always remember when you educated the sweaters as to what Mexican Johnny actually meant when he would say, ShooWanDo? in Bensinger's. One guy actually thought it was a major battle in the Korean War. His reply was, "Well the Marines took a pounding, but they held the line!"
You of course knew he was just asking for a game; translation: What do you want to do? (I confess, this was stolen from one of George's old columns)
