Here is a little something for Fast Lenny and especially Steve Lomako. Lenny was asking for a Onepocket story and Lomako would probably be very interested to hear that Black Jones, the legendary backer from the Rack called me the other day. I havent seen him in 30 yrs. He went to jail for a long time, but he has been out for about 7yrs. I thought he was dead. He is 78 yrs old. He heard I was writing about Romberg playing Weenie Beenie, when "Boogie," (Romberg, nee Kenny Remus) beat Beeenie out of 200k. Beenie told the story to a magazine in 1998 and Jones said it was all wrong. He said he wrote a letter to the mag from jail with the real story, but they never printed it.
He is sending me the letter, asking me to make it public. It will certainly be interesting.
Lomako, did you know Jones was still around?

And no, he doesnt seem to recall the Claim Jumper as a viable pool player in his memories. Who woulda figured?
