He had a restaurant for a while iirc then he started selling insurance. He came to Tulsa in early 80's and i kinda steered him and his road partner around. I think he still plays a little.
I think that is Jimmy Reid- born in 1946, he would be 31 there. He was involved in the bigger 9 ball tournaments in that time frame and won one that year in Michigan. This was obviously not just a local tournament from the crowd size you can judge from the photo- I doubt it was a local IND> player- my guess is Jimmy Reid- sure looks like he would in younger days to me. I remember Jimmy coming through Bridgeport CT in the early 1990s for one of the early Joss Tour events. I seem to remember him in the finals against Mike Zuglan and I believe Jimmy took down that tournament- Boston Shorty was there too! for those that know the famous cue maker Paul Drexler in CT- paul set up a cue repair lathe at that tournament in Bridgeport Ct- it was sort of his intro to the pool world from what I can recall.
