Congrats on that 75, Bob. I’ll never forget about it again. Sincerely, me.

I was fortunate to play Gary Wilson who is a professional snooker player. I broke the balls and he ran a maximum 147 on me...it was a joy to watch and one of the four 147's he made during his trip to Canada. He's a gentleman too.
