I hope to have my Big Piney Museum and Ozark Interpretive Center finished and open by this fall. One of the contents is a pool table that was made in the early 1920s, dubbed an A.E. Schmidt Victory Table. It was sent to the main street pool hall in Houston, Missouri, about 1922. My dad and grandfather bought the pool hall in 1957 when I was 10. From then until 1964, I worked there after school and at various times during the summer.
