Frank, I was living in Reno at the time of the bombing and went up to Tahoe the next day to have
a look. According to a book I have John Birges and Harvey were pretty good friends. They would
get together at Harvey's house in Jacks Valley to discuss business. It was John who suggested that
Harvey's build the tunnel under Hwy 50 to Harrah's. Harvey was against it at first but realised he
would get as much business as he lost.
