That would be a pretty impressive resume..
I ran around with Stevens back in the 70's. He was an outrageous character.
Craig,(as I knew him ) was a truely outrageous character. I used to go up to Wichita (or he would come down to Dallas or Houston) regularly in the 60's and we had some great times. I knew enough to stay away from him at 9 ball, so we usually matched up at one pocket.
Most times he took the worst of it. We used to play a lot of golf together ( he was a pretty solid golfer as you well know) Most of the time we were partners against two guys with more money than brains. At that time he had a partner/stakehorse by the name of Donny Culver. (He played mid-shortstop speed) When Craig would go off, Donny would match up with me. Donny owned a used car
lot and when he'd run out of cash, he would bet a car. Great gentleman gambler. If I still had some of the cars he lost to me, I would have a few more bucks in the kitty. '57 Chevvy, '60 Cadillac, '59 Buick, are the ones that stand out.
Craig and Donny were great guy's, Wish they were still around.(don't mean that in a selfish way)
I just realy miss those days! I also do not think Craig belongs in an "unknown" catagory.

P.S. I still have a set of golf clubs Craig hocked to me in 1967, after he got broke in Ft Worth.
I told him I did not need the collateral but he insisted I take them. They are not for sale!
