Pool Friends

 
True friends are the ones who stay until the end of the party!  Julie, J.B., and Jay were the last to leave our December 2001 party. Our good friend, and one of the best female pool players (especially on a bar table!) in the whole U.S., Tammie Our friends, Mike & Zora, at the fabulous "Bucci Ristorante" in Grosse Pointe Woods.
     
Derek, Steve, and JD know each other from the old days at the Union Billiards Room.  I have been a part of the sixsome since I started dating Derek in 1991.  This was a riverboat ride that we took sometime in the early 90s.  This is one of my friends from the world of pool, CJ.  She's one of the best female players in Michigan, and what's even more admirable is that she promotes the sport the right way.  She teaches little kids how to play pool, and is one of the most respectable and respectful people I've ever known. A good pool friend, "Stevie Mac," taken in London, Ontario in 1993 
Ernie, Dan, and Derek (pool hall friends--Ernie visited from California in 1998) Me & my friend, Jim, who is also the guy who takes care of our pool tables at the Michigan Union Billiards Room. Betz, Josh, & Sunny (both great pool players who also have jobs, like me & D!)
