The guy in the suit was named Gordon. He sold pacemakers & medical stuff & made a lot of $$. A good guy with some gamble. The regulars came up to me after I beat him & said "Don't worry about playing him anymore, we didn't know you could play". Sure enough, they took turns playing him - golf, 9 Ball (Andy) Billiards (Sam Jones) and hammered it anytime I tried to match up with him again. Sam was one of the best kickers I ever saw. Anything near a side pocket went in & he kept the pressure on constantly. I played golf all over the Western part of the country and he was as tough as they come. John Henderson

I don't remember Gordon, could have been while I wasn't playing. I took 9 years off.

You need a pretty good map to find the town you were in that day, Oneida, TN. I was there that day as I was for most of the monthly tournaments. Old Cecil (Billy) just overpowered that field and it was a tough group. Nick and Billy were just a few of the quality players that seemed to be in attendance every month. It had to be the best monthly in the southeast for a while

I took Charlie (Shannon) Bryant there also before many knew him. We got a good payday on that one.


Were you in Florida with him <Hillbilly> and Ashcroft yrs back?

No, I just went around the area here in East Tn. I went to 3 or 4 tournaments with him and did ok. Brandon came here with Shannon and stayed for a while and came back when he was running with another guy, I think it was Daryl Caldwell. AssCrack could play ok then but I think he has improved about 2 balls since.

I never got Shannon in action although I tried, but I did get him a couple of armwrestling sessions before everyone realized that he nearly always had the nuts. I talked to him right after he broke that dudes arm in Louisville and he told me he would never armwrestle again. I don't know if he has but knowing Shannon if he said he woldn't he probably has not. He is a good dude, sometimes a little overbearing and his philosophies often confusing, but I like him and would like to see him do well on the IPT.
 
there was a guy from boston, from some fancy college out there that could play hed visit during exhibitions and Id call him up for a few. My group called him fast talking tom. He could talk himself into trouble just not out of it.
