Last weekend I was in a restaurant in Mobile, when a gentleman tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I had gotten the t-shirt I was wearing in Starkville, MS.
This is the classic black with white lettering Southern Billiards t-shirt. I told him "Yes, I did". From his perspective all he could see was the
Southern Billiards "Best little poolroom in the South." logo, and I spun around to show him the Starkville, MS side. He said he had worked there for
Unk many years ago. He asked about Professor and asked if Lil Sam still played. He mentioned Kevin Eaves and I responded with something about Carlton and Kevin
being friends. He was surprised I knew Carlton and asked if he was still around. He very nearly fell on the floor when I told him Carlton's a school
teacher. He said in his defense that, "Carlton would probably do the same if he knew I am a pastor now".
The gentleman was a really pleasant guy to speak to and seemed like a real good guy.
He said he was gonna try and call Unk sometime and catch up.
I referred him to the website.
I believe he said his name was Johnny Mills, it was pretty loud in there, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said. He also said he doesn't play pool anymore.
