Bill "Weenie Beanie" Staton and I became best friends in his later years. Along with our wives, we traveled to the Yucatan, Greece and Turkey, Japan and other places together. We found casinos in every country and I watched him catch a blackjack dealer on the cruise ship cheating. He told me a lot of his pool stories but the figures didn't jump so high. Who knows? Maybe he forgot or didn't want to tell me, but I doubt it.
What I have to add to this pool lore was he was the nicest gentleman I ever knew. All of his family are my close friends and they all adored him. I miss my pal every day.
Keep it respectful. Alfie
Strange thing Alfie..During the years you and I were kinda out of touch, the 'Bean' used to come to Scottsdale, with his wife, for extended visits.. (90's to early 2000's) We were long time aquaintence's, and he'd come down to the Cue, and we'd often match up and bang 'em around a little..(as you know we both liked to play )..I think you may have been in Colo. or Tucson, in those years..but its funny, your name never came up, as a mutual friend of us both..If it had, we may have been re-united many years sooner..He was also one of my favorite people in pool..
