...already what a classy and generous guy Steve Passalacqua is, you will when you read the amazing story of his "Mother Load" chip find of a lifetime, which is reprinted in the latest issue of the Casino Chip & Token News. My hat is off to you Mr. Passalacqua.

Pam Goertler has also contributed a fantasic survey of the clubs from the west side of Las Vegas including rare images of chips, dice, photographs and other memorabilia chronicling their existence. Great job once more, Pam!

There are also excellent articles on the Mizpah Hotel, Part 2 of the story of the Pop's Oasis dig from Jim Follis and Jim Steffner, a survey of Bahamian chips from Charles Kaplan and tons more.

Congratulations on another fascinating and informative issue to all of the contributing writers, editor Todd Barrett and assistant editors Bob Orme and Joe Shaw. We're extremely lucky to have such a high-quality magazine serving our hobby. The long-standing tradition of excellence established by former editor Allan Anderson continues!
