1976 - Linda Hudish, formerly of Hialeah, playing pool and the photo won AP Photo of the Year as best photo
Ocala, Florida
Linda lived at 115 E. 52nd Place in Hialeah when she went to Palm Springs Junior High in 1961 at the same time as me. She was 27 in the above photo which won best photo in the annual AP Awards for photographs and the photo is from the Ocala Star Banner. She later played in the US Open held August 11-14, 1976 at the Chicago Sheridan Hotel on Michigan Avenue.
I hope the future is not as bleak as it looks now in 2024 but a big change is coming soon to the world the meek shall inherit the earth.
