Long Beach woman inducted into billiards Hall of Fame

Mary Kenniston of Long Beach may be retired from competitive billiards, but she still has a rack smashing shot, and she still has the stare.

Doc, I vividly remember seeing Mary for the first time, late seventies in New Orleans at the Sportsmans. She was traveling with NY Blackie.
Back in those days, not many women were seen in the pool rooms.
Mare I'm proud of yah, and congrats to your accomplishment.
Not many out there support our game like you have.
Last Time I ran into Blackie (Buddy Hall was also parked there) was in Tampa 05-06 at a pool room, close by the LARGE American Flag.
I was helping run the Tampa Honda....service dept.
Thought I might retire/move there, but I got a taste of those NE retired people's attitudes.
They don't roll quite like the rest of us.
