In 1959 I was 13 and went hunting with Ed.  We were on the land of Kenny Searles who was the owner of Anderson Dairy.  Ed and I were walking through the alfalfa when a pheasant took off.  I did not shoot so that Ed could have a chance to get the bird.  He missed, but I got another bird that afternoon.  (Unfortunately my mother did not know how to cook it.)<br/><br/>I had not thought about this event until I was on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe in 2000, and I saw his picture in the lobby of a hotel in Carson City. It was part of a display of old Nevada history. It was strange to see a picture of a young Ed von Tobel at a time when I was looking towards becoming an old man. <br/><br/>Peace and good health to everybody who remembers Helldorado.]]></description></item><item><title>Visitor comments on Donna Andress</title><author>Visitor</author><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jan 2011 07:04:41 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/historic-resident-of-the-week/2007/10/16/donna-andress.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1512126:comment/11507947</guid><description><![CDATA[A recent property owner from Canada, I have always been fascinated by LV and Nevada. Having visited New York and Chicago, the USA offers a diverse history and varied architectural background. I look forward to learning more about Las Vegas and Nevada.

At one time when I was about 11 years old and worked for Jake Vontobel at the lumber yard filling bottles with turpinetine, paint thinner and minerial spirits.  Those were great years.  I have so many fond memories I view them as treasures.  As you know in those days there was only the 5th street grammer school and the Las Vegas High.  Not like that TODAY.]]></description></item><item><title>Jim Imming comments on Donna Andress</title><author>Jim Imming</author><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2009 18:07:37 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/historic-resident-of-the-week/2007/10/16/donna-andress.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1512126:comment/4856870</guid><description><![CDATA[Since I grew up in Vegas in the early 40's I found this very interesting.  Went to fifth street school and graduated from Vegas High in 1947.  This was a great experince to have.  There are not a whole lot of people that were that lucky to remember what life was like in Las Vegas in the 40's.  The first job I ever had was working at VON TOBELS LUMBER for Jake Von Tobel.  What a great life.]]></description></item><item><title>Howard Werner comments on Donna Andress</title><author>Howard Werner</author><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 02:02:39 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/historic-resident-of-the-week/2007/10/16/donna-andress.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1512126:comment/4819071</guid><description><![CDATA[This is for Debbie Tucker - If your grandfather was a Congilio please contact me at:<br/><br/>hw8478@yahoo.com<br/><br/>I am seeking information about my father.Thanks]]></description></item><item><title>Debbie Tucker comments on Donna Andress</title><author>Debbie Tucker</author><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2009 01:01:51 +0000</pubDate><link>http://classiclasvegas.squarespace.com/historic-resident-of-the-week/2007/10/16/donna-andress.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68732:1512126:comment/3035665</guid><description><![CDATA[just discovered your site, interested in seeing more on the Country Club Lane status.
