There are still vast stretches that are nearly pristine. Just not in most of the urban stretch of the river. The magnificently beautiful stretch downtown still has magnificent beauty. The river walk is wonderful. That section gets a lot of extra attention from the Reno PD. For some reason the homeless don’t much like attention...
Should you ever be in Reno, I’d be happy to buy you a cuppa at Hub Coffee and we can look out over a stretch of the river while sipping.
I fear I’ll only be there in imagination and by phone. Not the world for traveling for oldsters like my husband and I. But, oh, how I wish I could go. Researching from afar is hard.
In the “old days” of the Henry Livingston research, I drove through the country finding obscure research institutions. Today it’s the phone.
A wonderful lady in your area inherited a packet of Jack Bell’s papers and photographs from her father-in-law and searched the internet to find me and then sent them all to me. Frustrating was a bunch of photos that I, at first, thought looked like a very changed, older Jack Bell. I’m now thinking they look like the Reno sheriff whose photo was in an article about the new gambling rules that Jack Bell wrote. The man was wearing a Reno badge, and Jack was a Verdi deputy sheriff. There’s only one older photo of Jack Bell beside Jack Dempsey, a friend of both Jack and the sheriff, and Jack there looks nothing like the photos the woman sent.
But the coffee sounds great!
