Harold Smith, Sr. liked to play blackjack, just for fun, at Harrah's next door to his Harold's Club in downtown Reno. I was at a blackjack table with Harold and a young couple who were playing with $25 chips and winning. The dealer kept giving them stacks of $25 chips. Harold looked the dealer in the eye and said, "Why don't you get some $100 chips out here - SHOW SOME CLASS." The dealer, obviously knowing who was speaking, said "Yes Sir" and a rack of $100 chips was brought immediately. Harold graciously gave me his autograph that said "I want to Quit Winners" after his book that had been recently published.
