Randy Dant:  

What a long, strange trip it's been. Left E'ville in '74 & traveled around the country. Came back,& worked for the Family business for seventeen & one half years. Took my family 8,500 ft into the mts. of Colorado and lived for enough time (almost 3 years) for me to be trained into Gaming. Moved to the Gulf Coast for a year & returned to my Hometown. Have now spent 23 years in the Casino Business. Am a Father to four...1 Son & 3 Daughters....1 Adopted, 1 Biological & 2 Step (You can figure which). They are all doing VERY well and I now have 10 GrandChildren. My ONLY Holiday is Christmas. I collect Santas (I have more than 125) that range from a 1" carved wooden one to a 12' high air-blown one on my front lawn. With the Trees, Santas, Animateds, Collectibles and Outdoor decor....it usually takes about 30 days to get it right. Currently divorced (for the 3rd & last time)(I make bad choices, sometimes), I have a Girlfriend, Susan who I think the WORLD of! She loves me, tolerates my habits and gives me my space. In return, I give her MY love, tolerate her habits & TRY not to intrude on HER space (it's difficult, sometimes. I have a "Managerial" tendency). If you get a chance, look me up on FaceBook. I may not appeal to all of you all the time but my page WILL appeal to all of you some of the time!...... :) Here's a reminder of OUR Music!
