I’m working hard on a location and dates for 2008 to do my next event. I’m planning to have One Pocket with $25,000 in prize money and only a $50. entry fee. I don’t wish to include UPA players.
A trade show will go along with this event. Maybe even a senior tournament could be done. […]

Ike Runnels just beat Bill Incardona a 7 ahead set of One Pocket for $8,000. They were playing at Red Shoes Billiards in South Chicago. They are trying to make another game but nothing has been decided yet.
I have decided to play in the Straight Pool tournament at Bill & Billies in Maryland, on June […]

Then I went up to Portland, ME […]

We had a wonderful trip but I am so happy to be home. I think Grady could have continued on for several more weeks. He loved every minute of it. Let’s see if I can hit some high points. It’d take a book to write about everything. (ummm!)
New England was terrific as always, mainly because […]

We left on Sunday and drove about 12 hours. Actually Grady drove and I worked the radio. After spending the night somewhere near the PA/NY state line, we headed north and arrived in NH on Monday afternoon. (Another 5 or 6 hours) Tuesday, Grady went up to Portland, Maine to visit […]
