Hi, I am Ray "Cool Cat" Martin's grandson. Would you happen to have footage from his 1994 BCA Hall of fame induction? We have been unable to find any footage. Any help is appreciated!

*WHO WAS THE FIRST PERSON SPEAKING, TO INTRODUCE FATS? HE SAID HE WAS A CUEMAKER. ANYONE KNOW WHO THAT WAS?* *WE DONT HAVE ANYONE CLOSE TO FATS PERSONALITY... AS SOON AS SOMEONE TALKS, LIKE EARL OR SIGEL OR MIKA THEY GET BASHED*

[@AccuStats]

That was Paul Heubler. He was the president of the BCA at the time.

[@leoboogie9886]

I was a kid in the 60s We all argued who was better Fats or Willie They called him a big mouth like Ali My uncles were pool sharks One worked as a 'collector' for awhile--if you know what I mean --Though I never knew it till long after I grew up Fats was pool Every bar or pool room his name was always heard Cigars cigarettes smokey venues & a mans world Thats how it was

[@rogerscottcathey]

". . . Yes, he's a fan of mine"?? Who was that doing the intro? Did he mean to say "Im a fan of him"?

[@bob733333]

I don't know him but I think he was a well known person in billiards back in the day. Film maker?

[@rogerscottcathey]

@@bob733333 : Maybe, or pres. of the org.
