Let's just say this. It could be. He would have been very young in that photo, like early 20's.
Fatboy said:Jay,
I really got things going with this thread.
Yeah, whatever happens next. It's all your fault.

That's the name they used for Mike's character. And there was a real "St. Louie Louie".

How about "Pool Wars, Past and Present".
Russ Chewning said:
Russ,
It does look like Efren. almost all the features, body frame, hair and face replicates Efren, with the exception of the nose. Efren's nose is kinda flat while in that picture, it seems to be pointed. can you blow up that part of the image? I already made several comparisons and the nose doesn't fit. if you have a photoshop or corel, it would be much easier to determine and make a clear image of that nose in a blown up image. I just use a simple photo editor, so that alone doesn't help a lot with a blurred image.

Thanks Jay, guess I could always come to you for questions like that, I am a young gun still, it would be awesome to organize a tournament for those of us AZ'ers, something like a good day, pool and good stories, maybe do something for the release of this book.
Oh yeah, put me down for two, gotta have one to read and one signed for sure.

Pool Wars - The Pearl strikes back
Pool Wars - Return of the Magician
just kiddin !Jay,
if it's Past and Present, probably "retrostyle and modern age" would be also fitting. the Picture Cover would be some Close Up shots of Pool Balls on the table! Would you also consider putting some Pix Exploits of players whether they were posing for Playboy,pictures doing their past times, playing famous individuals, etc... and also some excerpts, famous quotes or lines, etc... as contents ?

Tech Support
Until that last line I was going to volunteer myself for tech support, but I'm not so sure now. And yes, why lie? The real stories are unbelievable enough. Call if you need help. There are many land-mines laying out there in the publishing field.

That's much better. Now if we can put that tawdry picture of Loraine shooting pool on the front cover, it would add some sizzle to the steak...and help goose book sales!jay helfert said:

But anyways, as Fred Agnir said...... "The neck is wrong, IMO."
But thanks for trying to take credit for it Russ....

Eh.. Sorry about that.. I scanned a copy of that pic for my wife when I got the book, saw this pic on my hard drive, and assumed it was the one I scanned. And then I remembered a thread where I was talking about this book and picture, and assumed I started it since I had the book.
You know what happens when pool players start getting old..
Again, I apologize.. Didn't mean to step on your thread..
On a side note, from the story David McCumber wrote about Manila, I'm still saying this is Efren. Noone saw him in the U.S. until he was in his 30's, and in this pic he is between 18-20, if I remember the story correct.
People change a lot in 12-15 years..
