Wednesday
I just returned from having dinner and a most enjoyable
conversation with Morgan White Jr. In the past year, I appeared on his Boston
clear-channel radio show from Boston, which reaches the eastern two-thirds of
the country, three times for a total of four hours of interviews. This was the
first time we met face-to-face. We became friends on the telephone because of
our shared interests in American history, entertainment, and especially the Las
Vegas casino business. Whenever one of us calls the other to see how each other
are doing, it always turns into an hour or two conversation. We ate at the
modern incarnation of Ben Siegel’s Flamingo Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas
Strip in a restaurant that displays many photos of old Las Vegas, one following
after the other on large TV screens. After a long evening of animated
discussion, we took this photo before parting.
