I just finished editing the images in the 1980 Florida Open gallery on our Smugmug site. Two of the players remain unidentified at this point. Anyone know who they are? Link to the gallery: http://billporter.smugmug.com/gallery/3997606#232514446

Thanks in advance for your help. By the way, the images were sent to me by hemicudas and were taken by his now deceased friend Bill Johnston. If anyone out there has 20+ images of decent quality from a pool tournament in the 1980s, let me know as we would be happy to create a gallery for you on our Smugmug site. We do NOT put such photos on any DVD that we might sell in the future, we just want to have a historically valuable coverage of 1980s pool in America.

Other than being in Florida, I have no idea. Sorry, but all I know is that the photos are supposed to be from the 1980 Florida Open.
 
Thank you so much for the pics in the album, and the 86 9ball tourney.

As a player who didn't start playing till 2000 - 2001, i always felt like i was missing out on the golden days, when the legends of today were in their prime.

Your pictures transported me to a different era of pool, thank you for that :)

Also, efren looks adorable in his embossed white satin jacket.

Thanks fior the kind words. That's why Mike Haines and I maintain those galleries on Smugmug.
 
Bill,
The player on top looks like Joe Louis (?Lewis?). I'm not sure where he is from; lives in Indiana now; very accomplished one-pocket player.

Thanks, Willie. I think that means I should post over on another forum, which shall remain nameless, of course!
