Jim, remembering our conversation the other day about memories. You should know that Betty has been here in Vegas with me all week. From the Flamingo, where we stayed back then, then to a show where they imitated Wayne Newton - we saw the real thing! Then there she was at Hoover Dam! Not liking the 114 degrees. It was cooler when we went via the lake. Back at the casino where she, Karyn, Barbara and I tore up those penny slots! Tonight I'll be looking for her to bring me some luck at the tables but we'll be back tomorrow with our lasting memories of one so dear to so many. Thanks for sharing your angel.
