Grady Talk at the Derby, is it possible?

[BarneyCalip]

I am not sure if this is possible, but could we get a large room (Donation) with Grady and a few of his friends.
Grady would talk about the old day's and the new young gun's.

I would like us to help Grady by charging a small fee to listen to him and the gang.
We would donate the fee to him to help with his medical expenses.

I do not know who to talk to or if it would be possible to set up?

Not sure if Grady would be agreeable to this or if he would have time due to his health?

Just a thought, Barney

Good thought

I hope this idea gets traction and can happen. Isn't there some sort of "legends" instructional sessions already set up that Grady normally participates in?

PM sent.

If Grady feels up to it and if the room is potentially available, maybe he could tell some stories himself or with some of the other guys. Recordings of the bull session might be an item that people would be interested in purchasing.

I'd rather chip in twenty a man, and buy em a lady friend. I KNOW he's like that. Plus he wouldn't have to drive.

Grady & the Old School Pool Seminar
(While Grady Mathews fully intends to be at Derby City again this year, he won't be fully recovered enough to take his turn in the Three Legends, Old School Pool Seminar at DCC. His place in the One Pocket instruction will be taken by the legendary Artie Bodendorfer. The price per person this year is going to be $120, with the extra $20 going to Grady himself to offset his medical expenses.)

The 4rd Annual,
Three Legends, Old School Pool Seminar at DCC

Artie Bodendorfer, Danny DiLiberto, Freddy "the Beard" Bentivegna will host their annual OnePocket, Straight Pool, and Bank Pool seminar at the Derby City event. The program is 4 ½ hours long, and features an hour and a half each of OnePocket, Straight Pool, and Bank Pool instruction, along with personal interaction, road jackpots, and stories from those road rascals. Danny will handle the Straight Pool, Artie will cover Onepocket, and Freddy the Beard will do the last 1 ½ hrs. on Bank Pool Cost is $120 per person, and will take place at 9 am in the Straight Pool Room at the Horseshoe Casino on January 23rd. Due to limited space we are going to cut off the enrollment at the first 21 paid. We had a full room last year so reserve your spot early.

Possible guest appearances promised by Jay Helfert, Billy Incardona, and hopefully if he is up to it, Grady Mathews himself.

Grady has always been one of the Master of Ceremonies at the One Pocket Hall of Fame dinner -- for the last 7 years. This year, because his health is down, we are shifting him to the other side of the podium. Because he was our very first One Pocket Hall of Fame inductee, he came in before there even was a dinner, so from our very first HOF dinner he was the one handing out the accolades, not receiving them. This year we turn the tables on him to give him a special "living legend" tribute

You can join in on this.
