When I went to Ohio State we used to go to Newport Kentucky for a weekend. It really was more for the hookers than anything else. Ten dollars would get you a girl that would be a thousand today. Trust me when I tell you every thing was rea and a full set of teeth.
I love to shoot craps and I went to a casino that was owned by Sleep Out Louie Levineson. Who latter owned the Freemont in Vegas. I was at the tables and held the dice for almost forty five minutes. My profit was four hundred dollars. ( average bet 2 dollars)
There was a man standing next to me who made over twenty five thousand. This is in 1959. After the roll he came over and handed me five hundred dollars. I was stuned . I introduced my self and he said call me Happy.
Just as a side note. Newport was shut down by an ex football player by the name of George Ratterman.
Just for your knowledge the gentelmen that who introduced himself was the Govener of Kentucky A.B."Happy" Chandler.
