Outstanding. Didn't know that rag even existed any longer.

It's keeps things interesting to say the least !
Keep the Faith Jeanette !

Good for her.

That was impressive, just to read that. Gotta be honest, I never got emerged in Jeanette's tribulations dealing with cancer very much, but just by reading this.... it got to me a little bit. I guess I'm kinda blessed I never dealt with cancer (either for myself or anyone close) and that also makes me a n00b at the topic. So stories like this can make a dent. Also, I saw her photos with hair growing back which lead me to believe she beat it but I was very naive apparently, since it's incurable. And I didn't know that.

Wasn't she in the "body " issue also?

Anybody knows where I can get a black widow t-shirt like the one M. Berjaoui wore against W. Zielinski in FargoRate Ohio open on YouTube? Couldn't find it by Google.

Beautiful article and tribute to a champion or our sport, a mother, and a kind lady.

Yes. She was in ESPN The Magazine's Body Edition.

God bless Jeanette Lee! She took the pool world by storm and upset the apple cart by becoming the most famous poolplayer on the planet since Minnesota Fats. In the process she made herself wealthy! Not so bad for a high school dropout. I witnessed her ascent from the beginning and I take my hat off to her. Jeanette is a role model for any young person to follow your dream and not to be afraid to GO FOR IT! In spite of all the obstacles she faced along the way, Jeanette made her dream come true.

She accomplished all this with perseverance, dignity, great personal charm and an abundance of talent. I'm proud of her for all that she's done for herself and the sport of Pool. Thank you Jeanette Lee!!
