calling all kooks( and you know who you are)

[annie( Kal) streeter]

I am always looking for an elite bunch I ran with back in the day when alibi kooks and flatys ran the road. the last show I saw most of them in is larry carr. I would assume I lost most of them to the bad habits that made us kooks in the first place.
kenny lear, chuck money, ricky and diane justice, crazy, gino and darlene, paddle boat,duck pond john, this is to just name a few that I wish I could cut jack pots with and relive some glory days.....

I wish I had a scanner, I would for old times sake. I remember Chuck Money, haven't heard anything about him lately. I do know Suckem up Chuck is still out on the road. He's got a ton of kids. He's changed a little, still strong though. I think he finally got a conscience. He looked good when I saw him a couple of years ago. Tic Toc is still in the biz too. I heard Jocko is pretty sick, don't know what's wrong but I always called him my big teddy bear. It was nice to see him when I did. The pics I have are Rockin Bobby, Cookie, Easy, JD Phillips, Rotten Ronnie, Diamond Dave, and Billy Jack. I carry these pics with me in my scrapbook on the road and bring them out when cutting up jackpots.

I haven't seen or heard from Kenny in about 20 years. Thinking about all those kooks brought back to me how long it's actually been. My husband and I have been together for a little over 20 years. I probably wouldn't know Kenny if I tripped over him. Good example was I was walking around the midway, we were booked with Dreamland through our old home show owner, in Media about 3-4 years ago and I heard someone say "Toots?" I haven't had anyone call by that name in over 23 years. Sure enough it was Jocko Dane. I didn't even recognize him. We all grew old, thank God for that. And, no I'm not Hoctor, I'm Foley. Like I said, they used to call me Toots as in Tootsie, not toots as in tooting the white stuff. I never got into that. I have a picture that the AB took of the kooks when we were all working for Don Williams, before he hooked up with Sally. I do know that out of about 8 of them, only 2 I don't know the whereabouts of and the others I know are gone. Bad habits make the good die young. Good talking to ya.

how could I forget rockin bobby, and the last time I saw cookie me and kenny lear where in nyc and saw him walking down the street carrying a mattress, I think he was trapped up in the area and couldnt leave...:(
this wouldnt be debbie hoctor would it? I may be all wrong on the spelling but thats how it sounds, my late husband kal was good friends with her back in the day. I seem to remember debbie hoctor was from the syracuse or rochester area.
thanks for taking the time for answering my blog. I have b een off t he road for years and working a sucker job. it seems like a life time ago but I wouldnt trade those years for anything in the world. it is so hard to try and explain to friends that are not with it what it was like to ask a g-note a dart working my abc. they have not a clue..!!!
do you still have joints up? what do you have?

How about Rockin Bobby, Cookie, Diamond Dave, Rotten Ronnie, Jimmy Bush, Jimmy Bell, Jocko Dane, Bouncin Benny Pierce, etc, etc, etc. Haven't heard some of the names you mentioned in a long time....I knew the ones you mentioned too. Used to run with all those kooks, back in the days. Those days are long gone, grew up, became an owner myself. I never got into the Bad Habits, saw too many of them go to the show in the sky. Sure do miss those days sometimes....
