“I'm so surprised. I didn't think I was going to do it, ... I'm happy to be the oldest guy in it.”
Thomas Johansson
“I think my new thing will be to try to be a real happy guy. I'll just walk around being real happy until some jerk says something stupid to me.”
Jack Handy
“I was the oldest guy in the field by some 15-years and probably the smallest. There was teasing going on because some of my opponents were these big bruisers. I never would have expected this when I first started. When I told people that I had been playing for only three years, no one could believe it. But you don't get here without a lot of help. I couldn't have done it without a lot of support. I spent a lot of time going to the park when no one was around and worked on my game.”
Terry Farrell
“I took my two oldest, I think it was, on a ride to Arcadia and back before it closed, just so they could say they rode on a passenger train.”
Ruth Allen
“Probably our oldest guy in the tournament was one of our best players.”
Don Waddell
“The oldest guy in the tournament was one of our better players. Unfortunately not everybody had the jump that he had. If we did, we'd probably be talking about something differently.”
“It was especially hard on my oldest (Thomas III). I don't think for a while there was hardly an article written on him which didn't mention my name. It finally got to the point in his senior year at Plano where it was all about him.”
Thomas Lott II
