GREAT article……. Reading this tells you a little about the type of motivation it takes to become one of the best in the world! I'm sure a similar story could be told of Dennis Orcollo, Efren Reyes, etc…. They used pool much the same way many american kids use other sports.. to get out!

Thanks for posting!

Anyone have info? I've never been able to find a thing about him.

Don't know about him, but that family needs to put the males out to stud to breed pool players

Quite a few members of the family have had success at different levels of the game.

Interestingly, as an aside, I was working on a project for work, and of all names that came up, it was a person named "Van Boening," no relation to Shane, I don't think.

At any rate, in researching name spellings online, the majority of the Van Boenings in the United States hail from Nebraska. It's a German name.

Here is his website, which provides a few photos ---> shanevanboening.com

Much of the wording, however, on his website was written by me, coincidentally, when I created his Wiki article in 2007 ---> Shane Van Boening's Wiki Article.

8 Ball Express

The White Van the family traveled in for many years had the spare of course mounted on the back door, the cover for the tire said 8 Ball Express.

When you saw that Van in the parking lot, we all knew the family was there to win. Timi was around allot during the eighties and early nineties, played solid never rattled no matter what situation she was in. As the siblings go, I'm pretty sure Timi was the better player at her peak.

What is the stud fee to obtain one of these starving bust outs?
