Names to remember


Just thinking about the old Nevada Club brought back some names:

Mark De Santel
Oscar Dykes
Emma Baker
James Erwin
Wilford Nolan
Emmett Shea
Vern Peterson
Ed Beaty (Not sure if Beaty or Beatty)
Bettye Johnson
Thelma Ganz
Danny Fagan
Doc Ledford
Carl Konarske (Meta's Brother)
Jeanette Fenner
Alice Tuttle

I could probably list most of the dealers in Nevada at that time, most got their start with Fitz. Not many clubs then, and none trained but Fitz and Harold did some. Generally you started with Fitz and went elsewhere.

Mark was my shift manager when I started, the first one I talked with when reporting in to work my first morning. He is the one that sent me off to shill.

I remember most of them by their first names. I worked with Eddy Beaty many times, there were many rumors about him.

All of these folks were referred to by their first names. We seldom used their last names, but I do remember them by their first name.

Danny Fagan I worked with many times, and he helped me a lot when I was in training, an extremely nice guy. His brother also worked in the casinos.
