I greatly admired the man. He knew exactly who he was, enjoyed it, and
shared it with us. Great guy!

'58 is the year of my first visit. I hitch-hiked there and, thanks to
a Craps table at the Tropicana, flew home in a Constellation.

Going down The Strip, I had to wonder who was entertaining the public
elsewhere. It seemed that EVERYone was in 'Vegas!
