Some of Grady's Pictures - Thread 4

[CaliRed]

I've been fairly busy lately and haven't had the time to put together something nice on the pics lately... I got a big project I want to do for them.

So, in the meantime, here are some more pics. Captions are below the pics, as labeled by Grady himself.




Me and Bill Incardona, about 67'. You can see he's obviously asking for weight.



Jersey Red and Beenie. As great a game-maker as Bill was, he could never quite beat Red.



One of my all time favorite photos, Danny Jones, Cornbread Red, me and the fat man.



The incomparable "St. Louie Louie" Roberts. Nobody ever played better 9 Ball than Louie.I loved him like he was my own family but he was destined to a tragic end.



L to R Eddie Taylor, Earl Schriver,Marshall "Squirrel" Carpenter,"Handsome" Danny Jones, Connecticutt Johnny Vivas, "Cowboy" Jimmy Moore,"Boston Shorty", Sonny Springer, Joey Spaeth, Mr. Cokes bodyguard, Hubert "Daddy Warbucks" Cokes. Johnny Irish, Eddie Chris McHehen, Joe Procita and two unknown men.

Grady, it's really a shame how our memory fails us as we age, I wasn't asking you for weight, you were asking me for a few tips on how to play one pocket

On more of a serious note, you have been a credit to our game in so many ways, and I can honestly say in spite of our differences that I have enjoyed our camaraderie throughout the years.

Your pictures are a treasure, and thank you for sharing them with us.

Great pictures Grady. Thank you for sharing. They truly are a treasure. By the way on the last picture one of the two unknown looks like Cole Dixon.

I want to see some old pictures of you and some of the Chicago boys, not sure if you can scan paintings or not.
