FREDDIE TALKS ON HIS HISTORY WITH THE GAME OF SHUFFLEBOARD
I can't remember the exact year I started playing, but I believe it was in the late 60's. Meeting Joe Hudson and Hal Perry was what truly changed my style and desire about the game of shuffleboard, and they
became my best friends.

I got involved in league play, which is where I really loved to play in Doubles and Team events. This evolved into starting and helping run tournaments, one of which was the Auburn Club Tourney that eventually moved to the Ace of Clubs in Marysville, California.

I had the great pleasure of being involved with Joe Muniz, Paul Weber and Karl Spickelmier in putting shuffleboard in Vegas, in a casino, in a large way. It was a great pleasure to have had the opportunity of
learning and working with the late Al Stewart, also working along side one of the games greats, Bill Maxwell. Probably the most important part of this history was the reward of all rewards, I met Lois. The rest is
truly history, for not for her I would be nothing'. Her love for the players and the game inspire me eve more to help make the game worthy of all things.

I can go on for days of my history and involvement with the game. My goal and philosophy was quote: "If you took care of the players, the would take care of you."

FREDDIE ON HIS LIFE AND FAMILY OUTSIDE OF SHUFFLEBOARD
