Pretty comprehensive list of cool owner chips, Dick, and I get those gol durn Smiths mixed up too! Harold's bro Raymond A. (center and left) was part owner of the store along with Harold Sr. and Harold's ex-wife when Raymond I. "Pappy" was casino mgr. Pappy then bought out Dorthy when Harold's "cowboying" threatened to imperile the whole shebang. Pappy died and Harold sold to Howard Hughes before Jr. (right) got a chance at the helm.
I had to go up the road a couple of hours for a Fred Steiner, the late owner of Freddie's casinos in WA.
