LOREE JON OGONOWSKI HAS BEEN A POOL SHARK EVER SINCE AGE FOUR

Loree Jon Ogonowski scans a pool table, its 15 numbered balls scattered about, and visualizes a boldly colored constellation. Then, stroking the cue ball, she picks them off one by one as easily as tracing a connect-the-dots drawing. As she lines up each shot, the 5' 7½" Ogonowski bends from the waist like a gymnast until the tip of her chin rests lightly on her cue stick. Her long lines and centered focus suggest a sleek cannon lowering its sights on little tugboats.

Maybe the sisters back at the all-girl Mount St. Mary’s academy in Watchung, N.J., who only a few years back had been her teachers, weren’t aware of it. Maybe they weren’t even aware that her recent surgery had been successful, that the lymph nodes beneath her right arm, her cue-stroking arm, had been benign and been removed.

“I’d better call them,” Loree Jon Jones said.

Some of the others in the CBS canteen might have mistaken her for a singer or model or actress. Anything but a pool shark. The man who represents her, David Kastle of Nashville, likes to say that it isn’t every day you find somebody who “plays like Minnesota Fats and looks like
