Article in the LV Sun about "collector Ronald J. Gillio" turning over some items from the Fitzgerald hoard to the Nevada Historical Society in Reno. http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/nevada/2005/may/19/051910256.html
"It's a big part of Nevada history," Gillio said. "Gaming is the number one business, or industry, in Nevada."
Duh.
Not mentioned in the Reno Gazette-Journal. Also talked about an event called Collecting the West trade show, Friday and Saturday at the Horizon Hotel & Casino at Lake Tahoe where more items would be displayed.
The RG-J did have an update on the Harolds Club mural however. http://www.rgj.com/news/stories/html/2005/05/19/99924.php?sps=rgj.com&sch=LocalNews&sp1=rgj&sp2=News&sp3=Local+News&sp5=RGJ.com&sp6=news&sp7=local_news&jsmultitag=news.rgj.com/news/local
