Grady,
I was watching an Accu-Stat earlier today with you and Billy commenting on a Shannon Daulton match (vs Ginky). I've heard you talk for literally hundreds, if not thousands of hours over the years thru the tapes you've commented on. (That particular match was from the 2000 DCC) And today, you're still with pool. From your early days in the 1960's in San Fran, thru Colorado and Maine and now in S.C., you're still 100% about pool! You are a "lifer" Someone who has given the whole of their life to our great sport. Player, promoter, pool author, pool commentator, room owner, instructor....if it involves pool, you've lived it. Only a very small % of people really dedicate their life to this sport. You have most assuredly have been one of them. So, whatever "exposive material" you have to share with us, you have earned the right to express what's on your heart!
Here's hoping your future announcements will be concerning upcoming tournaments you're hosting. Now that I'm 50, I'm eligible to compete in any senior's events you host, and Lord willing, when I heal up some more, Brandie & I plan on making a trip to S.C. specifically to visit you and Randi. (Well, she wants to go to the beach afterwards for vacation....she just doesn't know yet how long I plan to hang around your place!
)
And most importantly, Randi is in the prayers and thoughts of many of your friends from pooldom. We're trusting she's going to make a full recovery and that you both have many more healthy, happy and peaceful years ahead!
