Has anyone ever heard of a guy in Bowie, Arizona name of John F. Gates? He operated some type of business in the mid 1940's. Any connection to gambling? Also, there was a hotel in Tampa, Florida in the mid 1940's called The Golden Horseshoe. Did this joint have any gambling? See, I told you it was weird question time.

Thanks in advance.
