Thornburg poolroom keeps old-timers lively daily
In Thornburg, Don McCracken and Bill Moothart reopen a back room of a closed grocery to heat an old pool table with a rescued stove. About 8 to 15 seniors gather daily, led by McCracken at 59 and Leo Morton at 85, sharing talk on the Hawks and light, friendly games with donations funding their modest needs.
