It features an interview and historical look of founder Paul Lucchesi Sr. by columnist Chip Ainsworth. The original full-sized newspaper framed article is on display for viewing at Eastern Billiards.

"One day," says Lucchesi, "the pool Holyoke pool hall and reaches for another hall burned down. I went over and came back Kent. He is diabetic, and at age 70 the nerve with a bucket of balls." endings in his fingers have become frayed. The outside air leaves a chilly residue, so he wears a floppy sweater and keeps a wool hat pulled over his brow. As he sucks in a pull of smoke and stares into space through wire-rimmed glasses, he says in a deep, raspy voice, "Geometric triangulation of the diamond system is very important in pool." With that, Paul Lucchesi quickly dispels any impression that he is simply a two-bit hustler who happens to own his own pool room. Indeed, not only does he own the Ivory Billiards on Chestnut St., he also owns a slate mine in Italy, and a warehouse in Boston.
