Having the saloon was more than a job for him, it was a good part of his life. He really enjoyed the visitors who wanted to know the history of Virginia City and Nevada. |
He and several others organized Bonanza Days. They brought in all the actors from the show. It was a big three-day celebration. |
The house was built for George King, the president of Wells Fargo Bank in Virginia City. He and my mom completely restored it in 1970 before they moved in. He loved restoration and preserving historical things. |
