Will they visit Joe ... when they are in Rio?

Some know, or have read, that on a few occasions, in Reno, I dealt to Joe Conforte, of Mustang Ranch fame, in the mid 50's, when he was really getting started. I have talked with him on a few occasions, in Sparks, when he was waiting to get his money back from the cashiers at the Nugget. He would take in many small bills, and have them converted to larger ones.

He is not a friend, but I have followed his career, and feel that I know him, somewhat.

Guess where he now lives, Rio?

Prostitution is not legal in Brazil, but I guess it is tolerated, somewhat.

With millions of people coming to Rio, I just have to believe that old Joe will figure out some way, somehow, to get some of their dollars ...... well, maybe not, but you just have to believe that he will be seeing a lot of old friends.

As I understand it, he lives in a swanky penthouse, with a young girlfriend, and I guess if you know the right people, you can get his address.

The closest I could come ...................
