....Billie
Billing has developed an industry-wide reputation throughout her
years in the sport of pocket billiards, as a player, leader, instructor,
innovator, and creative influence. She was the main activator
and first President of the Women's Professional Billiard Association
(WPBA), as well as the initial woman columnist for "Billiard
Digest" magazine. The column, “Visually Speaking”,
which ran for ten years, featured Billie's playing advice, along
with photographs of top male and female pool players, picturing
a situation relevant to her written instruction. Her photographs
and instructional guidance can still be read in the Pointers section
of this website. After
Billie's retirement as a professional player, she carved a path
for herself and other women in the field of computer science. Billie
became a Desktop Support Specialist in 1995 when the industry was
devoid of women technicians.
