About 15 years ago, I found this pic of Raquel Welch somewhere on the internet, printed a copy, and sent it to her asking her to autograph it for me, which she did.
I have the usual Color of Money, Hustler, and even a Bugs Bunny poster in my pool room. This photo has a rather special place on the wall, though.
It was taken right around Christmas, 2002, when my parents visited my wife and I in our new home. I finally had the pool room I'd always wanted, and was thrilled to play against my dad on my very own table.
This trip was the last time I saw him alive. He passed away in March of 2003.
Very sorry to hear about you losing your dad - I'm glad you got a picture you value.
