Default Of slots and bars...

I've gone through 2 albums and a file folder of GCG pix, and naturally the one showing the slot machine is missing. I tried searching for it in my postings, also to no avail.
Now, as to bars on the DQ: Richard Simonton showed me the remains of the standup bar on the ceiling in the forward cabin lounge. It is on the port side, forward of the Pursers Office. This was in the California days. It shows on the deck plans in Saga pp. 26-27. It was in the Smoking Room. The area to which Bob and Dale refer was the Pantry in California days. When the DQ came out on the Ohio, the Gift Shop was in the area just aft of the midship hallway on the starboard side. In our day I believe it was room 112. There is a famous postcard of Happy Briscoe behind the counter there. I have that PC, but it too is MIA and strike three, the deck plan won't upload as an attachment for here....parents: don't let your children grow up to be disorganized steamboat memorabilia collectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!
