First of all I want to that everyone for their support in a thread I posted a while back when I announced that a publisher has decided to publish my book of stories from my travels on the road. I have not forgot about that thread as I got some great ideas and info from there and I will be going back to it as I get a little closer.
FYI, I am getting really close but need some pictures to go along with some of the stories. I have a bunch of my own but if any of you have attended a Legends and Champions Event a show, a clinic or a challenge match and have photos please could you email them to me? Also in your email I have been instructed that you just put a line that says that you grant me permission to use the photos in the upcoming book. Thanks again everyone in advance for any help you can give me on this. email is cantrillmark@yahoo.com

Aww Mark. When you mentioned a picture book, I was hoping that crayons were included. I likes dem ones. Thats why wife always takes me to MacDonalds, so I can color on the place mats.

Well thank you Hog for you input :) Still want to make it up to your area in the near future. I know that back in your day they had caranies and the photoghrapher was under a sheet behing the camera but just asking for the more modern pics at this point. Hope all is well buddy.

Which stories are missing pictures?

Hey Island, actually none of the stories are missing pictures as I don't know how the pictures are going to be added yet. There are alot of stories and I don't think it will be possible to put a picture wit each story but for sure some of them will will match up with a story. I think that you maybe were at a show we did at Billiard ink a few years ago with Earl and John Schmidt. Let me know if you have anything and thanks.

Hi Tom, if you can just pic out a few good ones I trust your judgement. Again if there are any with me in please send them along. I know the ones with me in are usually few and far between but the stories all include me for one reason or another maily because I am telling the tale :) Thanks Tom.
 
Mark, I have a decent amount of pics from the trip you, Johnny and Nick made to Beezer's in Russellville, Arkansas.

You have my permission to use them, tho it would be cool if I got a byline in the book. :D

A bunch of them are in one of my posts here. Do you still have my phone number?

Or I could just text you, I suppose.......

I got mislead by your below statement,

''need some pictures to go along with some of the stories.''
 
When I created free screensavers, I searched for billiards-related photos including old advertisements, antique tables from old catalogs, street-views of pool halls (mostly in the US, but some from other countries).

Let me know if you would like them offline (billiardgods@gmail.com) and I can zip them up for your review.
 
I have some Earl and Johnny ones if you need a few I can pick a few out or I can try to get you all of them... I have about 100 or so
 
Mark. Would love to be able to arrange a trip up here for yourself and the guys. That would be a life time experience for most of the players here. We have some that go to Vegas every year for the BCAPL, so they have met and rubbed elbows with some of the Pros but most of us haven't had that opportunity. Specially to have a weekend seminar.

Our current LO is putting on a large 3 Province tourney this Nov so he has ambitions and plans that no other past LO has done.

I am on the League committee so will run it past him in the very near future.

If anyone can make it happen, it will be him.

Myself, I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be in the same room as Johnny A or that little fellow that you drag around with you.
That would be Nick, right?
