Las Vegas - Circa 1993

I remember going to Las Vegas with Floyd for an industry conference when we worked together at Russell. We had quite a trip. We left on a Fast Sunday in the late afternoon. I decided to fast right on through until we would get a "meal" on the plane (remember those days?). It turned out to be a peanut flight....

Floyd and I checked into the hotel on the strip and quickly found one of the buffets. It was five bucks and all you can eat. They lost money on Floyd and I that night. Three helpings each not counting desert!

It was a productive conference and good to be together with Floyd. We had a FHE together in his room on Monday night. Lots of fun.

The quote I"ll always remember him saying on this trip had to do with the environment. We were staying at Circus Circus if I remember correctly and had to walk through the Casino to get to our rooms each day. There was such a bad spirit there. Floyd turned to me after walking to our rooms one evening and said, "I think the Holy Ghost is waiting for us outside!"

Well said, Floyd!
