Dan Wallace was an 'A' Level player when he was playing regularly. He could play with the pros and have a chance against just about anyone in a single match. He has victories against many "name" players. He cashed fairly well in most events he played in. Never a top player but what I would call a high level shortstop (or low level A Player), a tough man to beat.
Dan always kept his cool and his temperment under control, prerequisites for being a winner at pool. A good looking guy and a class act all the way. I was always glad to see Dan in any tournament I promoted or directed.
Hilary Morse was a sweetheart and I couldn't believe it when I heard she had died. She loved pool and hanging around with the pool players. When I think about her a smile comes to my face. Sweet Hilary!
Tina Pawloski is a very attractive woman who also happened to be a damn good pool player. She had a wonderful fluid stroke, almost as smooth as Robin Dodson. For a long time she was the second best woman player (Kristy Carter was #1) in the San Diego area. Tina could dab it, and I always believed that given the right opportunity (bigger money events) and regular playing time she had the ability to do well on tour. But being a smart lady she saw that her chances to get ahead playing pool were limited, and she wisely made other vocational choices.
