Wheelchair 8-Ball

After I finished teaching on Sunday afternoon, I grabbed my camera and took a few shots of the finals.  Bill Frisby from Floodwood, MN was playing a straight shooter named Dave.  My apologies for missing his last name, but I’ll try to correct it and post the final results as soon as I can.

Here were the details on the event:
