...(AKA Kentucky Bill}..From onepocket.org.
As far as my inclination John belongs in the Hall of Fame he qualifies under section three of the requirements."Someone who has had a lasting impact on the popularity and growth of the game." He has for forty years been a dominant ambassador for one pocket on the West Coast. He has published his own, very informative newspaper which was delivered throughout California...
..John has gone into every pool room in this area and has played any and all players. His ability to play way into the next day is legendary...His value to one pocket in the Bay area is that he is a teacher and an entertainer...JR Hendy has earned the nom de plume Gentleman John because he has always treated the game and his opponents with respect...
...No he has never been a road gambler or hustler or a late night gambler like RA, but he ran with both RA and San Jose Dick for many years. ...Onepocket.org has three critria for induction, normally only one criteria has been met, a hustler!...Criteria three fits Gentleman John to the letter.
