I had to revisit this thread. I met Etdm several years ago and we have been friends and sparring partners ever since. Thanks again for sharing your collection and stories. Your dad is obviously a special person and mentor and most would be lucky to have anyone like him guide both their life and pool game. 
Though I've just known Jay during a short stretch along life's journey, it is obvious to me that he is a fine person, a good friend, a creative pool player, and a worthy opponent on the felt. Here's to you my friend, your dad should be very proud!
