Rich-I was working at the Plaza ('73-'75) when Jerry White installed the world's longest baccarat shoe. I remember it well. Jerry and I got to be
good friends. He used to show up for work packing a pair of .45s during Helldorado Days. Nobody messed with him. Later he opened a place
in Commercial Center called Black Bart's Unique Decor. I gave him some stuff to sell there. I remember the bar he opened at Fremont and
Eastern. It was originally called the Vegas Lounge-it was a real dive. He got tired of all the hassels there and opened another bar on Sahara
called the Frisco Lounge-it was a classy place. I think it's still there under another name. Do you know if Jerry is still around? I'd love to talk
with him.
