PRESS RELEASE



It's often said, for those who know God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not know him, no explanation will suffice.

I am almost at a loss for words trying to explain or understand how this situation with my website happened! First and foremost, I apologize for any inconvenience that it caused anyone. I only recently learned of the dilemma and will make every attempt to right any wrong or confusion that has quite obviously happened in the last four years. I was literally awestruck to learn of letters, emails and requests that went unanswered.

I thought I would be able to pass from this life without becoming computer literate. I was wrong! You have my word that nothing like this will happen in the future. My website "trickshooter.net" will not be online much longer but I can be reached at my email address: www.trickshooter@excite.com.

It's confusing to me, as well known as I am in this industry, why somebody didn't raise a flag. I'm not placing blame now or every will and most know that my word is my bond. I have been literally trying my entire life to promote this great game to bring it out of its cocoon. I would never intentionally let correspondence and appearance requests go unanswered.

When I produced my video, which has now been converted to DVD, and the website has been first installed, I was told it was not getting any activity. Because I am a perfectionist personified, I did not believe my video to be professional enough. To add to that, Billiard Digest gave it a negative review. So I figured the project would eventually be canned, selling a few at my exhibitions and giving several away. To my pleasant surprise, however, due to the popularity of artistic pool on TV, several have requested my video (hence the reason for DVD) and literally everyone that I come into contact with and have seen the video like it very much. Go figure!

I hope all concerned will forgive my ignorance and accept my sincere apology. Contrary to the opening paragraph, I hope this explanation does suffice and YES- I am still available to do exhibitions.

Majors I still make every effort to participate in:
January- Derby City Classic- Louisville, KY
March- Allen Hopkins Exposition- Valley Forge, PA
May- BCA Super Seniors- Las Vegas,NV

Please do not hesitate to contact me via my email address: trickshooter@excite.com

Sincerely,

George Middleditch

P.S. A personal thank you to Jim Rempe for nominating me to the Hall of Fame in 2008.

I can grab a few beers, well a lot of beers, and listen to George's stories for HOURS. He's one entertaining dude.

Old stories of he and the Tooth are really, really entertaining.

Handsome George and his beautiful wife have been gracing pool tournaments for decades, and doing shows all over the country. He's a pretty tough act to follow, so I won't even try. Your shot George! ;)
 
georges website!

im not sure who made the website for him, but george hasnt had a computer until this year. he is now learning how to use it. well, when he finally checked his website, he seen that many people tried to hire him for exhibitions, or buy one of georges videos....(now converted to dvd). so that news release i posted is in a nut shell an apology from george for not responding to anybody that tried getting a hold of him through his website. also, if anybody needs to contact george, pm me and i can forward his phone number (with hiis consent).

thank you,
joey
 
Thanks for the explanation...I checked the site and it looked OK so I was unsure what he was apologizing for.
