The Pool Cue in Billiard Wholesale Directory

 

It was in 1983 that I did not get involved with the newly formed Valley Pool League. It was the following year and I regretted not getting in on the ground floor. Although there were less than 20 teams the year I started, it was probably the most exciting thing I was ever involved with. Since I worked in a bar it seemed logical to me that I should be part of this game that I always enjoyed playing. The problem was that I worked in a bar that did not have a pool table. That was the main criteria for being in the league, of course, and you had to play for an establishment that had a Valley pool table in it. It didnt necessarily have to be a bar, but that really was all there was in Cheyenne Wyoming. So it was 1984 and I was elected as Vice President of the Cheyenne Valley Pool League. I remember the night we had the election, there must have been about 40 men and women there and everyone was excited to begin the second year of the league and beers were flying. I remember it well because Jerry McDonald was nominated and elected President of the league and no one seemed to want the Vice Presidents job so I said I would do it and there you go. The next three years in the league I was honored by being President, but more precise, I was able to be part of the most growth the league had and ever did have after that. My last year as President we had over 125 teams and growing. I remember that we eventually had to split the league to maintain our status with the Valley National Eight-ball League. Each year we had a banquet to honor all the players who participated and wow was it an event. I remember it took over three hours just to hand out the trophys and awards. Every year it got bigger. It became harder and harder to find a place to seat a thousand to twelve hundred people and feed them all. The banquet was something to really get excited about every Spring.
