I have known Jeanette 19 years... ever since she lived in

Long Beach, Ca.   Many times we practiced at

Hardtimes, Bellflower. Shooting along side Robin Bell,

(Dotson now) Efren Reyes, Jose Perika, Morro,  Luat,

McCreedy, etc...  Wasn't until 1995 at the Bicycle Club

 Casino in Bell Gardens, Ca. that l shot in my first major

 tournament finishing 23rd out of 32.

l was so disappointed in my play all that l could do was

sit a stare at nothing..I remember J L coming over to me

 and reassuring me it happens to everyone...

l had a denim shirt in my lap that l wanted all the female

 'pro's' to sign.... well Jeanette took the shirt around to

 all the girls and each signed it for me

and it hangs in my trophy case yet today, along with my personally autographed , # 1

 in the Jeanette Lee signature cue balls.

 1997 l gave Jeanette & George a wedding gift that l had custom made..

And Hydred, l met her in 1996 l

 

 believe,

 

 

 

 

at a Scripts Medical W/C event in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 San Diego, Ca.  We had to play each other in the 'semi' finals. She lost, but it wasn't a happy loss. Hydred left the game, discouraged, playing very little till l contacted her in 1998 to get back into shooting... she wasn't having any of it, l told her she had too much talent for the game not to play..... l sponsored her on three SCWBT pro qualifier tours ... the rest is current history.
