Back in the day I’m thinking 1961 or 62” my father owned a liquor store directly across the street from Jimmy and Dorothy Wises’ Sequoia Billiards in Redwood Ciity Ca. Well it wasn’t too long before I found my self crossing the street to see what all the clicking balls were all about. It didn’t take long before I found myself in there all the time while I was waiting for my father to close ther store and take me home for the evening. And it also wasn’t too long before I found that just about everyone in the place had some kind of pool niockame and we kids were no exception.
Some of the more colorful names I can remember were, George ‘The Dry Dog’ Wilbur, ( a guy with bright red cheeks, who smoked lucky strikes and drove a 55’ Oldsmobile). Then there was Dee ‘The Fish‘ Dimetri, who owned a sign company in San Carlos, This guy lost just about everything he owned including a 55 T-bird, a huge diamond ring, and loads of cash to a guy called ‘Sewage Rack’. Dee finanally wised up and learned how to better match up but by then it was too late he had alread lost everything up to and almost his place of business in San Carlos. Then there was Paul ‘Bone Rack’ Tessure, who resembled his nick name to a T. Mike ‘Shorty‘ Dixon was another I remember there lots of them with plenty of stories to go along with all these guys.
