DonDiego was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley. And during the Summers of '67, '68, and '69 he worked for college-money in the Bethlehem Steel Company plant pictured. In fact, if one looks at the back left portion of the photo, he will see the blast furnaces where DonDiego slaved over molten steel in the heat and humidity of Summer. DonDiego occasionally found himself working on the highest platforms visible in the photo.
Ahh, . . . those were the days.
If LVA participants were able to come up with 10,000 close-friends able to invest $100,000 each, such a partnership could purchase the casino. Or, . . . 100,000 close friends willing to invest $10,000 each? For poor old DonDiego?
