NH Steve said:It was Tony Fargo that was elected for Banks a couple of years ago, but there was an ice storm that year, which made the driving impossible so he missed the dinner. He came this year to get his due award...
in the group photoCaliRed said:The Hall of Fame was a great event. It was very nice to have all these great players in the same room together and being recognized for their contributions. Steve puts on a fine event with many people helping out to make it all happen.
Their were lots of laughs, some tears and some great stories. Alot of the people there, all know each other, so it's like a annual meeting of a family.
Allen, John, Wade and Tony Fargo were inducted.
Below are just a couple of pics. The girl with Steve and I, is Angel Levine who I see running around taking video all over the place.

#Cruncher said:There was a debate going for several years on who had the most powerful stroke to come out of Wisconsin (Midwest even?), George Palewski or George Brundt. Well the debate intensified when a third player with a powerful stroke came around.
A kid named Larry.
I wonder what ever happened to him?
just ti set the record straightCaliRed said:I believe he's around somewhere. I saw him playing banks and as he rounded the corner of the table, he about knocked me out of my seat with his white shoes.
Larry always has ear phones in and has no discussion with anyone around him.

fred bentivegna said:The Johnston City Alumnus to the left of me is George Powalski from Racine, Wis. Played fair. Beat Truman playing even banks in Alabama, Joe Salazar playing 9ball on the bar table after he had just dusted Seigel and B Hall. Robbed Tom Spencer in Tom's pool room giving him the 8 ball. A 300 ball runner. Played zero 1 pkt however. Artie gave him 8 to 5 at North Shore Billiard club. Playing 9 ball he could have given Artie the 7 easily. Played on several national championship 8 ball teams, one in Vegas and one in Milwaukee ( with the team that I was on, along with John Abruzzo and Artie B) in 81. Possessor of an incredible draw stroke. That's who he is.

It's George PAWELSKI (pronounced pa-vel'-ski).
A great player. Mark Wilson observed him one day run over 200 in straight pool, then a double digit run in a game of 3-cushion, then TWICE around the table in one inning in a golf game on the snooker table. A formidable opponent.
I spent a couple of hours with him last night, he is expert on the subject of golf course architecture (scratch golfer, and helluva bowler).
