Dad loved to watch me play pool. When I let him know I would be going to Vegas for the VNEA International pool tournament, he jumped at the chance to join me. He always had dreams of him and I going to Vegas together, now we were going to enjoy 10 days in paradise (8 for him). Well, we never lost a match with dad in attendance, including beating the ultimate champions in our very first match. The whole team shooting like champions. Dad had to leave on the 8th day, and over the next day lost 2 matches to end up 7th. A nice finish. Last year he came to Wisconsin's State tournament. Again, with him in attendance, we never lost a match and won the highest division going undefeated. It then occurred to our team, as best we can recollect, he never witnessed us losing even a single match! Can't ask for much more than that from a good luck charm. If you look at his picture posted, you can make out the pool lights in the background. This was from a banquet we had while in Vegas together.
