Cindy & I still trek to Salem Oregon's cue ball on Thursdays to play pool. Why Thursday? Because that was the day Don Malarkey could be found there, usually playing "golf" with the guys at the snooker table. He of "Easy Company" fame..when dawn broke on D-day, he was already in France.
Don left us in 2017, but there is still a memorial of sorts on the wall overlooking the snooker table. Cindy & I, and the pool hall regulars all miss talking with him. He's often a topic of conversation.

Didn't your mother warn you about falling in with people of low moral character in pool halls...they have led to the dissipation and ruin of many a good man...First you will be reading dime store novels like Captain Jimmy Whizzbang, then you will start using coarse and disrespectful language like "So is your old man," "Ain't she sweet" and "swell"..Then before you know it you will be smoking cigarettes, drinking hard liquor and hanging out with loose women...that pool hall spells nothing but trouble...
