I have added an entire new section to the Over50Vegas.com website with essays from early Las Vegas pioneer “Pop” Squires.
Charles Pember “Pop” Squires wrote a column in Fabulous Las Vegas magazine from 1950 through 1958 recounting his memories of early Las Vegas.� These are some of the best first hand accounts of the birth of Las Vegas I have ever read. Pop Squires went on to found the Las Vegas Age newspaper.

If you have any Fabulous Las vegas Magazines in your collection, I would love scans of his columns from the issues that I don't own. Or if you would like to sell them, I would like to buy them so I can share them on my site.
E-mail me for a list of issues that I already have or questions about scanning if you'd care to send me the scans to share. The columns are usually just a few pages long and I just need the rough scan. I will do the editing and cleanup.
If you don't want to sell your magazine(s) and don't want to scan them either, if you mail them to me, I will scan them and mail them back to you promptly and credit you as the contributor on my site.
