2005 HAll of Fame Inductees Named
Dodson & Massey selected for honors in Las Vegas
Colorado Springs, Colorado: The Billiard Congress of
American [BCA] has released the results of its annual voting and named two
inductees to the 2005 BCA Hall of Fame. BCA Voting Members have selected Robin
Bell Dodson in the Greatest Player Category and Mike Massey for Meritorious
Service and will induct the two at a ceremony in Las Vegas on April 7,
2005.
Robin Bell Dodson began playing pool at the age of 12 and was crowned the
California Women's Champion at 16, launching a career that would span over 20
years of professional competition. After a five-year break from the sport, spent
in devotion to her faith and her family, she returned to billiards in 1984 and
continued to excel. Known for her steely determination and accurate shot making,
Ms. Dodson claimed 27 professional tournament titles and was aptly nicknamed
"Bankroll" for her winning ways throughout a stellar career.
Mike Massey has been considered pool's best trick shot artist for almost 30
years and has given substantial visibility to the sport by traveling the globe
to perform exhibitions and compete in a variety of disciplines. He holds
multiple national and international titles in his own right, but has been even
more influential in the sport as an accomplished instructor, consultant and
fundraiser. From setting up shots for "Minnesota Fats" to co-authoring Mike
Massey's World of Trick Shots and promoting the sport worldwide, Mr. Massey's
contributions have been far-reaching.
As a featured special event at the BCA Expo, the 2005 Hall of Fame Induction
Ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 7, at 7:00 pm, at the Las Vegas
Hilton.
Guests are welcome to join in honoring these outstanding billiard
personalities, along with other Hall of Fame members, and enjoy full
presentations, hors d'oeuvres, dessert buffet, cash bar and plenty of music. The
cost is $45 per person, and a sign up form can be downloaded from BCA-Pool.com
(following the special events link in the Expo Attendee Manual) or by calling
Gabriele Stephenson at 719-264-8300 x102 for details, or to request a mailed
form.
