Re: Baca Club
In Response To: Baca Club ()

Chips were ordered by Roy Pray in 1949 and sent to a post office box in Springfield, Colorado.

During the 1930s Ray owned the Golden Burro (first called Roy's Lunch) in Leadville on the same street as a couple dozen bordellos. One rumor says he lost the restaurant in a poker game.

Later, after the war (and the time chips were ordered), Pray had a couple places in Canon City and also "Roy's Lunch" in Springfield. My guess is this game happened in the back of Roy's Lunch and nowhere will you see an official "Baca Club" name. JMHO
