I don't know a lot of the names. Is it possible to give a brief bio by the name?
 
Jam I would love to but I copied and pasted all of the names. The next ceremony which is Friday, March 1 might come before I finished the bio's. All of have pictures and bio's hanging on the walls of Snooker's. That's the best I could do for now. Sorry!
 
Tom, here are a couple I can think of Dave Hall, Tom DAlfonzo, Tony Reberto.
 
jonesy,

Dave Hall was nominated last year and he wasn't able to attend the ceremony. Hopefully, this will be his year.

Yes efirky, It's a very long list. There were and still are, many great players and contributors to the game, in New England.

Here is my list so far for this year.

Marty Carey

Sal Conti

Terry Kearns

Stephen Pento

Mark Ranson

Jon Waidlich

Mike and others, such as Tom Delfanzo, Joe Dupis, and both Minechello brothers are still a little to young and very productive players. We can't be changing there list of accomplishments every other week. They just have to wait there turn.
 
Great to see Sy and Dolly Eckstat from Gold Crown Billiards in Groton Ct are going to be recognized for lifetime achievement. I'd like to keep Herbert Lehmans name in the running.
 
MikeMaaen,

The names on that post are the members of The Hall, that are already members. I put that up there so people could see it and not nominate people already inducted. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
 
Tom a little known fact is that Jimmy Reid "Hippie Jimmy" was born and raised in Gloucester, MA. He hit the road in his teens. When he was done on the road his family had relocated to Florida and thats where he moved. Alot of people think he's originally from Florida. I think he should be nominated.

Very glad to see Bob Hunt is on the list, very very strong old school player that played anybody and everybody for cash and most importanly Bob is one of the nicest and respectful players that ever played!

Argee Mike D and Tom D are still new blood. Now like in my other post Mike X and Boston shorty and even larry liscoti have are much more suited and have far better resume than Mike D and Tom D

Mike X and Shorty are members. That long list, is of the players already inducted.

Rob Saez is a great candidate. I'll contact him.
