I will even try and play out of respect for the new owner Buddy. If I do, I will get my ailing friend George Pawelski to come in from Wisconsin and have pizza with me and his girl friend.

I hope it goes well for Chris's, and you, and George too

Is that the Buddy that was the house/counter man before? Good luck, Buddy.

That is Buddy. He has worked the counter at Chris's for 27 years.

Mary Kenniston has been posting pool photos in albums on her Facebook page for several years now, and there are a ton of really neat photos -- some old and rare, some you have seen before in magazines or books. Some from personal snapshot collections, and some from our photographer friends on the internet, like Bill Porter, Rixx Images and me Anyway, since a lot of you will appreciate this one, and not all of you are even on Facebook, I snitched this one:

That's Johnny Brown watching Freddy play.
Johnny contracted Polio when he was young, he walked with braces on his legs all his life!

He was a GREAT pool/3cushion bug.
