The reason I haven't said the name of the super duper cuemaker is I asked him if I could use his name and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I think it's up to him to let his name come up. As far as sending him a gift I'm going to make a deal with any member who has or knows of any needy youngsters or beginners who can't afford a cue that I'll send a cue to them. I have a couple of Malis and heubler plane janes and I'll send out 3 or 4 cues. They will be straight with new tips but they aren't new cues. If you want to post here and PM me your address I'll get them in the mail asap. I just want to make sure they are for somebody that needs one and not for somebody that just wants a free cue. Thanks for all the nice comments and we'll get AZB back to a family yet....Rick.
