Catalina Casino's 80th Anniversary-pt4

As part of the 80th Anniversary of the world-famous "Catalina Casino", I thought I would tell you another wonderful experience that I had in the Casino.

Did you know, the "Casino" has a reputation for being "haunted"? I have personally seen and heard ghosts in the Casino and I will discuss these sightings in future "blogs", if any of you are interested in hearing about them.



Over the years, as I was working at the Casino Theatre, I found that the other employees were so scared of "Casino ghosts" that they talked the manager into putting me in charge of “taking down” (closing) the theatre after the last show. The horrible job that filled them all with terror was turning off the lights before leaving the building. This task meant that I would have to be in the building when it was…DARK! (This never bothered me at all. In fact, I loved being in there with the lights off. I felt so much at peace there in the dark).

Anyway, it was about 10 years ago, soon after the episode in my last "blog" (Hopefully, you have read my blog about the old woman on her "60th Wedding Anniversary"). One evening, as I was "taking down" the theatre, I noticed that a middle-aged man was lingering behind.

I approached him and told him that I was sorry, but I had to close up the building and we would have to leave together. He asked if he could just stand there a little longer and enjoy the beautiful movie palace. He said that he lived in San Diego, that he had been coming to Catalina most of his life and could never get enough of the Casino Theatre. Then, he told me he wanted to share something with me. After the episode with the elderly lady in the ballroom, I COULDN'T WAIT to hear his story!!!

He said he had recently received his Master's Degree in Music and was now ready, after all of these years, to finally become a professional singer. He said that no matter what happened in his new career, there would always be a "dream" that he would NEVER be able to realize. I love hearing people’s “dreams" so I asked him to continue!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It gets down to select a proper companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
