Do they still have "numbers" these days. A friend says it still goes on but I have my doubts.

Ray, did you know Jim Reed from your DPD days. Just a friend of mine.

Theres also an officer known on the streets just as Sarge. He often was on a police bike [[Harley), When in a patrol car he was always alone. Worked the East side near Chene a lot. Late 50s white guy. I really liked him. I never caught his real name.

I know of several gambling joints, one very close to me on the East Side. The funniest one was a little shack set up in a field on the corner of Chene and Ferry [[SW corner) It was made of scrapped plywood and a guy ran a dice game on a door converted to a table complete with sides so the dice could be banked off the walls and wouldnt fall to the floor. I was dying to take pics but I didnt have the guts to ask, I knew what the answer would have been anyway. .
