  • William "Bill" Paul Staton (May 23, 1928, in Concord, North Carolina, US – February 28, 2006, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina), was an American professional pool player and restaurateur, nicknamed "Weenie Beenie". Born Billy Paul Staton, he changed his name to William Paul Staton in the 1970s. He was the ninth and last child of Dexter Ellison Staton and Suda Bertha Moore Staton of the Brown-Norcott community of Concord, North Carolina. In 1950, Bill Staton founded the Weenie Beenie hot dog stand chain in Northern Virginia, offering franks and beans, which is how Staton got the nickname. Business went well, and in 1968, with brother Carl Staton, they opened The Jack and Jill Cue Club in Shirlington, Virginia, one of the top-action pool rooms in the 1960s and 1970s, with 32 tables, a pro shop, a snack bar, and a tournament area that seated 180 with tiered seating. Jack and Jill's was a favorite stop for pool players and hustlers making games on the East Coast, open 24 hours a day for over 20 years. A second Jack and Jill Club would later be opened. Bill Staton attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. (en)
