He had a major role in the early days in Indian gaming. Things were chaotic. No one knew if anyone was going to make any money. Most of the tribes were disorganized. |
I saw depression the first year and half after he was let go. He really was crushed. I don't think David really understood what the grounds for dismissal were. He really liked the tribe -- he cared about them. |
It really just shocked the hell out of me. I'm sitting here wondering how could I not have known and how could I not have helped him. We just never discussed these old kinds of wounds. |
It was a messy situation. I think David felt extremely betrayed. David told me that he felt of Lou as his father, his mentor. |
