The New England Pool and Billiard Hall of Fame, which I started, along with Mike X. in New Bedford Ma. is being re-located to Providence R. I. I'm doing this, because I feel the Hall should be in the most prominent and active room in New England. Snooker's new location is the perfect fit.

I took a vacation, from the game, for several years and the Hall suffered in keeping up with the people they inducted. I plan on changing that in late August or early September. I'm looking to contact several people to let them know they will be inducted.

Bobby Hunt- from Ct.
Bill Dunsmore-from Ma.
Kerry Herbert and T.J. La Flame- from Me.
John Fernandez, R. I.
Manny Hamel and Eddie, (The Electrician) Tennaro, Ma.
Room Owners

Al Baron- Cue Connection, Merrimack N.H.
Gary Leuchessi, Eastern Billiards Supply, Winchester Ma. Now residing in Fla.
Bob Campbell, Author of,(Do It For The Game), Publisher of, All About Pool

This is not just a male thing. I have already contacted several women to let them know my intentions.

In case you haven't noticed most of the inductees are up in their years. I'm saving the younger people for the future. If you have any suggestions for other inductees let me know. I will consider everyone, I think is worthy.
 
Tom -- since you are asking for suggestions for people to induct, it would help if you would provide a list of people already inducted.

Tom,

Do you know the location of the new Snookers?

Also, I played Manny Hamel about 10 years ago while he was under an assumed name, Frank. Very good player.

Thanks,

Joe is a great suggestion but I'm saving him for later, and his generation of player's. I try to do this in gereration's. Joe's not that old. He still has lot's of game left inside him.I'm thinking over fifty for this group.
 
Tom , I updated with more players, Rich Ross, Rick Marcos and Bob Darigis should all be over 50.

Just thoughts

Gracie is from Canada, though she spent a good deal of tourney play in New England.

Nadine (Barofsky?) Mazzola is a good one. So then would be Nicole (Mancini) Albergaria.

Nicole has already gotten a call from me. Grace and Nadine are great suggestions. If anyone knows how I can contact them please PM me and let me know. This is working out great. Thanks for the help.
 
I think Nadine Mazzola was inducted long ago.

How about T.J. LaFlamme? [Edit: Whoops. Tom mentioned TJ in the first post of this thread!]

Is Tiffany Nelson old enough yet?

I'm hoping to hear from T.J. Tiffany Nelson and I have talked and she is thrilled to be inducted. She's hoping to attend the ceremony, depends on her schedule.
 
Are you looking for help contacting the people on your list, or looking for suggestions expanding it? Or both?
