Robert told me that I could find Edward Blackmon at the Royster Foundation for legal monopolies as the head accountant in Las Vegas. Boarding the plane for Las Vegas and finding my seat was no trouble at all. But who do you suppose I sat beside? None other than actor, David Dew. David and Italked all the way to Las Vegas and he gave me two complimentary tickets to his Broadway show that was premiering on the l2th of June.
