How the I-Beams were put in House of Billiards Sammy Sandusky and Jr. Dial came up with the idea for the beams to make the pool room building free span. Darlow Rexroat and his Dad were the contractors who installed them. The beams came from, where else? Sandusky Steel. The pool room was an instant hit, and benefitted the nearby Columbian Theatre and made downtown busier all around. About: Arthur Lee Waggener in the M&W Auto Parts By Ralph Roy Waggener Sammy Sandusky an Jr. Dial were the ones who came up with the idea for the beams to be put in running from Pilaster to Pilaster. Darlo Rexroat and his dad, (can't remember his first name and not sure how to spell Darlo ) were the ones who did the work, I believe some of the us and some of our customers help raise the beams. I think the beams came from Henry. We put in 5 new Steepleton Tables. Sammy came up with the idea of gluing the new fancy paneling on to the plastered walls because nails would not work. When we opened the place just filled up in a hurry and we had to borrow change from Charles and Yvonne Marshall at the Columbian Theater. Charles was sure it was going to ruin his business and Yvonne was excited to have us open. Turns out that LWC students came down to eat and shoot pool and then go to the theater and come back to shoot more pool and eat more; it was good for both businesses. I also learned that the lunch counter was the hardest work I had ever done and my friend Donald Thrasher liked to do to. - Ralph Waggener This story was posted on 2015-04-04 15:00:39
