I have 8 years left in the Coast Guard. If Stockton still doesn't have a decent pool room, I am going to strongly consider opening one in that town. I heard a lot of stories of my Grandpa's room thee in the 60's and 70's. Stockton was a good town for pool back in those days.

BTW how's that place in San Ramon? I still haven't been there, and it's only 5-10 miles from my house.

Nice to meet you Mr. Boyce. Unfortunately, during my come uppance (mid 80's to early 90's), road trips were rare and I never made to Boyce's Billiards; although I know I should have.

Mr. Mike Boyce was a helluva player as I recall.

We probobly met each other back then. I used to get down to Hard Times as much as possible back then, I would have given anything to live close to a room like that back then. You didn't need to make road trips the way L.A. was back in those days.
Yeah, my dad was a real strong player back then. Decent tournament player, very strong gambler. A lot of guys came through Hesperia when traveling from L.A. to Vegas and I'd say he definitely booked more winners than losers while we had that room.

That's a long way from Stockton. Is there any action in that place? Any guys like to play 1P there?

it's the half way point for a couple of friends of mine. i'm not going for action. i've seen some people gambling and some 1 pocket being played. i've also seen a lot of 14.1 being played there.

there seemed to be a good mix of strong and intermediate players there
