In loving memory

I met Sandy Schuman in 2013. We both shared of Sandy Schuman
a love of two things - Publishing & Billiards. Sept. 13, 1951 - Nov. 28, 2020
Sandy was Owner/Publisher/Editor of Inside
English - a small regional magazine covering the game
she loved and sharing it with everyone that she could.
I have created graphics for over 21 years now.

Sandy and I became friends over facebook. I had followed
her and the magazine for quite some time as my interest in
the sport of billiards grew, when she asked if I would ride
over to the US Open 9-Ball Tournament with her.
I said I would love too but didn’t have much money, she
said that’s ok, and we traded for me to do graphic design
work for the magazine. She drove down from Michigan
to Mansfield, Ohio to pick me up and we drove to Virginia
Beach. That trip was amazing. I had never been to one of
the big tournaments.

Once we go there and checked in, Sandy was ready to go.
Her excitement was contagious and I could see why. There
was so much to do and see and people to talk to. Sandy
seemed to know everybody who was anybody when it came
to Pool & Billiards. She started telling me of the history of
this tournament and who was in charge of the whole thing.

I met a lot of the Pro-Players that attended & participated.
We listened to Mike Massey sing a song from the movie
“The Baron & The Kid” and also had lunch with Dave
Jacoby. Sandy got him to tell the story of how he began
doing cue repair. After all of that we went to the Induction of
Jose Parica & Mika Immonen. It was amazing that we were
sitting there with all the pros that I had only heard about.

Sandy was one of those people that just shined when
she entered a room, happy, always smiling and everyone
always seemed to know her. My friend, you are so missed.
