Well, Remember, It Was Summa Corp..

That bought Harolds....Howard Hughes...My Uncle Billy Weier was there in management...Not spoken of highly in the interviews in Dwayne Klings Book, "A Family Affair."

Long Story about him starting in an orphanage in Iowa...then a tough little cookie on the "Saturday Night Prize Fight" circuit in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

Then, left with my Aunt Margaret and went to Casper WY in 1943...Had the Riverside Club...then married enroute...In Elko...Big scandal in small town....One of original partners in Golden Nugget....Retired...sold used cars...had fun...Then Hughes came to town...Management at Landmark & Silver Slipper....retired again....then Harolds....then Luekemia...Then dead....Margaret lived on til last year in original house at 1906 Ballard Drive in Vegas...Dead at age 97 or something.

Benham's still going....Ain't it neat...
