You name the price and it's yours! Please keep me in mind, when you decide. Anxiously, Await your Reply. My cousin was the Chief of Police of Saratoga Springs and passed away in the early 50s. It was said, his heart attack came about as a direct result of the anti gambling investigation that was being conducted by Estes Kefauver, the Senator from Kentucky. Well, he had a few connections ,and between those and a few other personal contacts( my Uncle was the Fire Chief, who was the first one on the scene at the burning down of the Piping Rock Casino) and those I made through my cousin' I got to acquire a great interest in the Saratoga Illegals.(Casinos that is) First hand knowledge! I worked at the famous Saratoga Thorobred Track as a Parimutual Clerk and the Clerk who worked next to me was a Bouncer at the Brook in the 30s. I even got some of my my chips from him. If it's Saratoga.....It's Me. I even slept in the house that once was Big Tit Lils. It was the main Brothel among all the Casinos. Of course it was after the fact. A good friend of mine bought the house years later. All this has contributed to my passion for Saratoga and it's past, sordid or otherwise. As a lad, I even was in a few of them.
but don't tell anyone, I'm a retired Judge now. Thanks greatly for responding! Your reputation is well known, and if I can ever be any source of info for you ,don't hesitate.
