stefanie,I was hoping you could email me, I'm sure many ask you to do that but I wanna make sure I can learn from you and your dad's experiences, I feel I am in a VERY similar situation to him in so many ways... I saw High roller and felt this could not be very accurate truly to Stu's life... My dad and most of my family also grew up in that part of NY, I am too Jewish, was Bar Mitzvah'ed(spelling) etc.. I too hated school though did just finish college due to my folks pushing me and me wanting to accomplish that before leaving for Las Vegas.. I want to talk to you and hope I can learn much from your dad's book, as I am highly considering a career as a professional gambler, though I do NOT play poker or gin etc.. Do you practice Judaism at all like your dad's side of the family? Can you possibly email me so we can chat, I would love to have a friend there for when I make my move to Vegas and learn the ropes a bit.. Hope all is well, you seem very articulate, bright, and super sweet.. take careMike (Jmaguire11@yahoo.com)
