What a wonderful person George Conrad was....

Hi Cindy. I, of course, am one of many who sent your Dad running all over Vegas to get me new releases all year. grin

But what I'll always remember about your Dad is how I emailed him BEGGING for a Four Queens Oscar Goodman chip so I could get it autographed at the banquet last year. Naturally George came through for me...and even offered to get me an introduction! (instead, using all my tact and good manners, I went up to the podium and thrust the chip at the Mayor with determination. vbg I DID get my autograph! vbg)

Later at the show, I stopped by to say hello to George and Liz. In conversation, we began talking of our children... and George commented that I didn't look old enough to have a grown daughter. BOY-O-BOY! If THAT didn't win me over for life! rofl.

The reason I mention all this is I guess is that I am sharing your pain. sad
George was (and really still IS) a man who loved his friends, his family and his hobby. I'm so glad I got to share a piece of his life too. grin.

Cindy, thanks for posting your thoughts and memories here. And sharing those final moments. sad

"Where there is grief, there is love."

I am seeing a whole lotta both right now.
You take care lady grin
