Ev in Columbia, training for the Governorship 2012-01-02 - Moores Pool Room, on the North Walk off the Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Ev, right was not at all impressed by the billiard skills of his partner. The last place he insisted on visiting was Moore's Pool Room, 124 Public Square in Columbia, KY, where he had previously defeated his Mema in a game of eight ball. This was the second match of Scratch with his Granddad. He won both, this one 74-46, a result most likely caused by a gallery heavily biased in his favor. Critics will say that a good pool player is the product of a misspent youth. But in Shelby County, Ev's homebase, the poolroom is something of training ground for future Governors. One of Ev's and most every Shelby Countian's heroes is former Governor and fellow Shelby Countian Martha Layne Collins, who, local lore in Shelbyville says, broke the pool hall gender barrier in Shelbyville and went on to become Governor of Kentucky and, later, President of St. Catharine College in Springfield, KY. Ev may be just following her political path. Ev is back in Shelbyville now, honing up on his big brothering skills. The ETA to his baby sister is January 25, 2012. -GRANDDAD Permalink | Comments?
