That would be me.
I broke into the Las Vegas sportsbook business at the famous "HOLE IN THE WALL CASTAWAYS" and Tommy was the assistant manager under Sonny Reizner at the time and later we broke in the Sante Fe Sportsbook together.
Hope all is well with Tommy, as I know he was experiencing some health problems a few years ago.
Stories of Tommy are legendary in the industry, and he was/is one of the most respected and legendary employees to EVER work behind a counter of a Vegas sportsbook.

yes indeed...he has retired and his wife was forced retired by the stardust a couple of weeks ago after 24.5 years....i think he said he had had 3 or 4 heart attacks and other issues but was in fine form yesterday...was a pleasure talking to him and he still bets a few games a week...all right then didn't mean to bother just thought i'd check with you on this...good luck and keep firing away...with many winners....jeffksu:money:
