<  This is my friend Naomi Schafer. She is the cook at the Longbranch. I had the pleasure of working with her while I was there. She is one neat lady, and thats what I miss most about working there.

    Here's Shad Shimic one of the kids        >     that used to frequent the pool table. As well as my house. He went to school with my daughter Dee. Hard to believe they are old enough to drink now. He grew up to be quite a guy. Ornery.....but quite a guy.

   

<      And this here is Shain Shimic  The mustache and goatie gives them away. Shad and Shain are indeed brothers. To his left is JT Guest. They are also a couple pool hustlers. But then thats all there was to do in this little community of 60, when the sun went down. Unless you were running water or baling hay. I  think that little talent helped put them thru school. Love ya guys.
