It must have been timing of the posts, Doc. I think I answered your ? just before you asked. Yes, that is Sonny and I was living in Chicago at that time. Sonny use to be a real ladies man. In the late 60s-early 70s I use to enjoy eaves dropping on the ladies conversations when Sonny was in action. He was a very popular man.

I'm no good at this. I don't even know who the people in our family photos are..... I'm outta here,I've got to go run the monthly 9-Ball tournament at Planet 9-Ball. Tiffany Nelson is playing today along with Buddy,Tony Crosby,Richie Richeson,Benny "Little Goose" Conway,Brian Davalos,Trevor Braymore,etc... later

Smorg, been meaning to ask someone who has seen both Goose and Little Goose play in their prime and you qualify. I have never seen Little Goose play and was wondering how you think he plays compared to his dad when he was in stroke? Anyone else who has seen them both, please chime on in too.

Little Goose plays well when the mixture is right.Little Goose and Richie Rich did not make it for today's tourny.Little Goose plays well in the local tournaments,but I give the nod to his father at the same age.Tiffany Nelson arrived late and did not get in.Today's tournament was won by Richie Orem from Alaska.

I believe that Benny "The Goose" Conway got his nickname at Johnston City.If I remember correctly, he was asked what his name was and he replied The Stork (at least I think it was the stork)and when they called his name later,they couldn't remember what he'd said and they introduced him as The Goose.... and it stuck.

This pic I use as my desk top. Much higher quality, obviously. Anyone look familiar?

Gene Catron standing next to a very young Johnny Archer & a young Louie Lemke in the back row? Wade Crane with the blue case standing next to Handsome Danny Jones...classic. I think thats Louie Roberts on one knee on the bottom row all the way right, Great Pic!!!

Really Cool

Really Cool

I put a few names on, but there are a lot I have no clue about. Correct me if I'm mistaken on the names I stuck up there.

That's not Sonny Springer seated second from left is it?
Also to the left of Louie Roberts it looks like Jersey Mel -- but seems pretty unlikely??

That is really cool the way you put the names in, Steve. You are 100% correct thus far.

Isn't That Uj Puckett Next To Wade Crane?

No, Pavlos, that's Danny Jones.

 

[NH Steve]

OK, I took a stab at a couple more names -- do I have The Glove and Louis Lemke correct?

By the way, there are photos of all of the One Pocket HOF guys -- if you go to the Hall of Fame page All the HOF names are links you can click on that will bring up about four photos of each member of the Hall.

 

[hemicudas]

You have the Glove right for sure, Steve. I do not know Louie Lemke but am told by a good friend that he also thinks it is him.

 

[Shorty]

Is that Robert Newkirk in the dark blue kneeling in the front?

No, Shorty. That is Floyd Baxter. He looks a lot like Dallas West but believe me, it is Floyd.

The lady in the center of the photo is Peggy Gumphrey, Steve's wife.

Jersey Red Benefit Dinner

Jersey Red Benefit Dinner

Here is another pic some of you guys might like. It was taken at the benefit dinner for Jack Breit. Some of the Texas mafia were in attendance.

That does not look like Louie Lemke to me. Louie wore thick glasses and had a beard and looks like the 7th guy form the left in the top row.

You guys tell me?????????

You guys tell me?????????

This is for sure the real, Louie Lemke. It was taken in the 1980s but I don't have an exact date. You guys tell me if he is even in the photo and if he is, which guy?

 

[jazznpool]

Hemi, Your pic is what I remember Louie to look like in early 80's. I still think he's in the top row, 7th dude from left.

[Bill]

I'd also say Louis Lemke is the guy 7th from the left.I've never not seen him without the beard and the glasses

Bottom Row, Forth from the left looks a little like Bucky Bell..

Third row up. Between Alley oop & Scotty Townsend. Looks like Whitey Stephensen's boy. I think his name is Tommy. Lives somewhere around middletown, Ohio. Maybe, you can get this pic blown-up and take it to Louisville this year.

 

[OldHasBeen]

That is FLOYD for sure.

That is FLOYD for sure.

No, Shorty. That is Floyd Baxter. He looks a lot like Dallas West but believe me, it is Floyd.

Floyd & I used to play quite a bit and I knew him well. Funny Guy. Thats him for sure. He also ran tourneys for a while.

Personally, Tom, I think Floyd ran tournaments better than any of them. Had a great booming voice that everyone heard, even the guys outside. Also, Tom. I think if you look close at the third guy from the left on the front row you just might know him too.
