....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.
