in 2001, and met Sharkey . He was very gracious, pointed out another room we should go into (the room with the Indian portraits) and had a waiter clear off Harvey's table so we could take pictures of it . That same year, Sharkey sold the casino .

(I'm sure I took more pictures than this, but can't find 'em ...pre-digital, for us)

Sharkey is on the left, with my husband

We went back in 2002...the place had been painted, all the "stuff" was gone, Sharkey passed away that year...
