Hi Don:

There was an older man in town named Teddy Price who was very close to Stu Unger who I knew fairly well. Teddy died a few years ago but I remember him telling me that if the manager of the Freemont Street hotel would have reacted better, Unger might have been saved. And he then went on to describe the type of convulsions that Unger would suffer from.

I've never repeated this story to anyone until now, mainly becuase it never came up in any of my conversations, but I am positive Teddy told me "A flop house on Freemont Street." Perhaps I'm wrong, or perhaps Teddy had it wrong, but I do believe he knew Stu Unger better than anyone in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, since Teddy's no longer here this can't be confirmed. I also remember him saying Stu did have some money on him when he died, but I don't remember the amount.

Best wishes,
Mason
