How it all started in mid. 2001:

July 11 '04

It was with the very sad passing of 'Ronnie Lee' (Charlie Chester's, Playboy London & Bahamas and The Vic.) that people, mostly Playboy Bahamas, started to 'get in touch' with each other.

It started off with everyone emailing each other, lamenting Ronnie Lee and exchanging antidotes of the good old days in the Bahamas.

I started to keep a "list" of all the email addresses to share with everyone.

As you know, I got a bit carried away and now have all sorts of lists and even a web site.

Those who were not in from the beginning may not have seen all the early emails that I saved.

Enjoy...

Dear Playboy Bahamas List...
Attached, you will find the recent communications.
For those of you who are new to the list... Happy Reading.:)
If you have been on the list for a while, you will see
a lot of old stuff but you will also see some new additions.

Contributions from...

Still working on Tina.
Please feel free to resubmit anything that I may have lost.
Ken Morris... This means you. You sent a great update but I
seem to have lost it. Hope you (or anyone) can resubmit.
Mary Mac... I think I lost yours as well :(
On a personal note...:)
I hate Man. Utd. so much that I put $40 on them to win the
premiership. If that doesn't bock them, nothing will. (Up the Hammers)
Made a similar wager on the Yankees (Lets go Mets)
Just thought of a funny story. You know those little "dots"
that come off tractor feed computer paper.
They were quite common place in the early PBB days.
They came off the Fill Slips.
I think it was my roommate, Billaricky, who managed to convince
Peter Hanratti, that a "PIP" had fallen of one of the die.
Picking up a "dot" with a moistened index finger....
"Oh No"..."A Pip has come off one of the dice"
He fell for it. Not for very long, but longer than anyone else would have,
which was what made it so memorable.
For those of you who are enjoying all this but have yet to make a
contribution, may you have a wining lottery ticket and put it
on West Ham to win The Cup.
Hope all is well.
Neil

A story about what "kind" of guy, sorry, chap, Ronnie Lee was.

And... A trivia question.
If you were not there, you will remember hearing about a serious road accident that I was involved in shortly after Playboy Bahamas opened.
I had no physical injuries but was in a right old 2 and 8 for some time having caused serious injuries to my pasangers.
I could not be left alone!!!
Bernie (a.k.a. Ernie Balloon) put me up for a few days but eventually I had to go back to work.
That night, sensing that I would still, "rather not
be left alone", Ronnie insisted that I spend the night at "Animal Farm"
There was however, a condition...
Ronnie also insisted that "I", drive the boys home, in their car.
I can remember it like it was yesterday...
It was one of the most uncomfortable things I ever did.
I wanted to drive a car like I wanted a hole in head.
It was many months before I drove again but I will never forget the thought behind the gesture.
While everyone (I had known for only a few weeks)
was saying and doing "The Right Thing", Ronnie found a way to "Go The Extra Mile". That's just the "kind" of chap he was!

        O.K...!   Trivia Question...
The Car that I drove to The Farm that night
was an old (even then) White, Ford Mustang,
Called...????????????????????

Hope you are all fit and well as I am.
Will add Don to this list a.s.a.p.
Have names to add to list??????????

Thanks so much for dropping me a line.
How long has it been. I shudder to think.
I forwarded your a-mail (to me) to everyone on my Playboy list. I sent it to you as well so that you will have their addresses as well.
What a shame that something like this has to happen for us all to get back in touch.
I will make a point of looking you up next time I am in The Smoke.
I hope you were joking about the name of the car but if you really can't remember...
A clue... It was a Farm Animal
As for your trivia question, the only thing I can remember still being up at Easter was...
"your Allans and Hickories on the chandelier".

From what I can gather he had been under the weather
for some time with diabetes although it was a massive heart
attack that caused his death. I am certainly no expert and don't
know if one can causes the other.
At the risk of stating the obvious, Roy would have all the answers.
I don't know if you ever kept in touch with him but I am sure
he would love to hear from you.

Dear Neil,

I doubt very much that Chris is aware of Ronnie's death, I do keep in touch with him and I know he's very happy teaching English in Czechoslavacia (never could spell it though). I will let him know. Was it ever determined what the problem was with Ronnie?
I know he was far too young to die so suddenly.
Really tragic and a solid reminder to all of us to make thevery best of life today, which oddly enough must have been one of Ronnie's personal moto's as long as I knew him.

Very very sad. I appreciate all the notes and
I'm sure there will be more "Stories" in the pipeline as people's memories get jogged, as I recall, I went to "Donuts" petrol party as a "Roller skating waitress"
and won first prize" thanks to Nigel Rogers creative talent and my own rather dashing legs! I looked pretty good as a blonde! Keep in touch.

Hi Neil , what a nice surprise to hear from you ,was it 20 years ago we went to watch the Hammers at Wembley ?? a lot of beer has passed through our
systems since then although I stopped drinking 6 years ago !!! no I'm not weird or religious I just got bored with it .I did try a short stint back in the casino as you might have heard from Rod but it didn't go too well as I soon found out how burnt out I really am , as after about 2 months I was climbing the walls but I stuck it out to show my now wife, Hani , the places I used to hang out which was a
great chance .So you have reached the dizzy heights of a PB good for you ,cushy number !!, did you marry Blanca ? and if so are you still with her ? any dustbin lids ? or even trashcan lids which doesn't seem to have the same ring to it ? saying that , my son Adam who is 4 next week already speaks Czech better than me but will support the Hammers !! my daughter Kristina is only 1 so she is still doing
her chimpanzee imitations whilst attempting to walk
? I am teaching English to the natives at a private
language school so the hours are great as I only work until 1 PM mostly, I still follow the Hammers of course and am hoping to connect to sky digital although it has been a very long and expensive road in doing so ?? I was in London last month visiting my brother and attempting to get some business going?.
Yes put me on the Playboy list and send me all the news that you know, I didn't know about Ronnie and am very saddened to hear about it, how did he die?
do you still follow the Dolphins ? I always look back with great memories of when we all went over on the chalks flight to watch the Monday night game,
then piling into our rented cameros and speeding off to Lauderdale to stay at the candy store!! . Do you want to attempt to write all the names of those who
worked at Playboy ? remember Steve Kaye did it once and I had always wished I had copied it , do you have any momentos I still have a brand new ,still
rolled up Playboy dice layout and some older BJ cloths also chips and the original brochure with Farah on the front ?
Wow !! that was a lot off my chest I will end now before I use up all my disk space ?
Keep in touch ,
Chris

What a long letter, I don't know if I can compete with that.
You must have left The Bahamas earlier than I thought if
you are asking if I married Blanca.
We Married in '85 and split up '92 when I came up here
to Connecticut. She re-married in about '95/'96
We talk often and consider each other as "The Best
Friend We Ever Had!" Her Husband is a fantastic chap and
very understanding of our friendship. Many people think
it strange that X's can be best friends but fuck them!
To answer a few questions...
Yes I think it was exactly 20 years ago (Hammers, Wembley)
'81 rings a bell.
No binlids.
Ronnie had been having problems with diabetes but died
from a heart attack. Roy is on "The List". Ask him.
I am sure he would love to hear from you.
Do I still follow the Dolphins?
Your memory is failing you there mate...

Never have, Never did, Never will...
Jets and Vikings mate! Also big Mets Fan!
Anyway... Enough of this Petrol Bollocks...!...
P.B... Cushy number???... Not really... 40% Bored,
40% Buried 19% Cushy. "Brains of a Pit Boss!!!"
No. I don't want to attempt to name everyone that
worked at PB but am quite happy compiling and distributing lists
of email addresses.
Chips. Worth a bob or two!!! Sold some when a few years ago.
I still have some white $1 chips and some training chips.
Brochure with Farah on the front!... An image that
has not crossed my mind for 15/20 years but is now as clear as a
bell. Thank you!
I think I still have some bumper stickers.

Dear Neil
Since hearing the news of Ronnie i have been
reminiscing the good old days of the Bahamas.I can say that

without a doubt they were the best years of my life.
Ronnie took me under his wing from the very first
days we worked to gether at Charlie Chesters and the Playboy London.
I always had total admiration for Ronnie as a dealer and more so as a
person.
He was one of the very few people i have met that
never had a bad word to say
about anyone. Ronnie would do anything for anyone,
and for me at the time being a young wet behind the ears lumpy craps
dealer he really helped me through some difficult times.
If you can find any group pics of Ronnie i would
really appreciate them.
Some of the funniest memories of the Bahamas include:
Anything CHRIS WHITEHORN did especially the glass
eating trick while wearing the white John Travolta suit .
His car rolling into the sea as he was trying to
get lucky on the beach.
Ordering the duck medium rare at the Ocean Spray restaurant.
Waking up after spending the night sleeping on the
hedge where he lived plus many more.
The other funniest memory that i still tell people
to this day about was when TREVOR THACKERY

just bought a state of the art video camera and was
doing the filming and commentary of the Caroline Clark golf tourney.
He was set up behind the 8th green at the
Ambassador Beach Golf Course and
his running commentary went like this
"Harry Heyward looks like his hit a real good 5 iron thats heading
straight for the green"
all of a sudden the ball hits his camera with a
tremendous bang and all you hear is a very loud

"HIS HIT MY FUCKING CAMERA"
But just to round this off, the camera is still
rolling as you see a shocked looking Trevor peering

into the lens to see if there was any damage.
I am doing well and living in Hollywood Fl. I'm
still in the business and keep in touch with

Tim , Rocky and Richard.
Take care and lets all keep in touch . Harry Heyward

I most certainly remember the name but to be very honest,
I can't put a face to it. I do however, see a tall skinny ice-cream
with a curly barnet. Hope I'm not too far off.
You may not know, but Ronnie Lee passed away quite
suddenly a few weeks ago. This very sad event had a silver
lining in as much as it got all, well most, of us Playboy Bahamas
people chatting again. There has been much exchanging of anecdotes and
updating of lives. The last PB list had 18 email addresses
and the next (out soon) will have 23. There is no doubt in my
mind that many on the list will remember you better then I do but
then again, I will remember you once you have shared a few
anecdotes. Let me know what you have been up to so I can fwd it

do two x 2day cruises out of London in August and later it comes

I thought about throwing it out on the Internet

Main problem is that they will all sell out really fast once the Travel

It looks like you have another to add to your list
and by the way it is good
to hear that you are alive and well. I trust you
remember those days in the
Bahamas with fond memories, I do and so does Sue and
the Kids. I am sure we
have a lot of stories to exchange, and no doubt
various contacts. I look
forward to hearing from you and to find out what you
are doing these days.
For my part I am still in the casino industry, I
work for Crown Casino in
Melbourne, Australia. Drop me a line.

Fantastic to hear from you. Thanks so much for the update.
I will be sending you copies of all the recent communications.
Happy Reading.
"Meisha"...The name rings a bell. I want to say "a
cute little bubbly blond thing" but I could be wrong. Must have a very

Hope all is well...

Hi Neil,
I have returned this e-mail as you may be able to get
some addresses from it (I don't know how to pull the
addresses from my Address Book!).
Hope this helps you out and thanks for the Football
info, saw the highlights on TV this weekend, great
goal from Gerrard. Ian has a copy of the other game if
you want to see it.
Regards,
Don

Ha love, How you all doing. Saw your name on a message from Don K.

A lot of us Playboy Bahamas people have been communicating in the wake of the sad passing

of Ronnie Lee. As sad as that was, it has produced much

reminiscing and many amusing anecdotes. I have a list of over 20 email addresses which,

with your permission, I will add you too. Glad to hear that you are still in the area.

Hope to hear from (and see) you soon.

Love,

Neil.

=========================================^

Dear Neil, I am sorry that it has taking so long in getting back to you
and indeed to all of you. Naturally like every one I was shocked to hear about
Ronnie, an old neighbour. Like many of the e-mails you sent to me there
are many happy memories of our time in the Bahamas. I am sure that almost all
of you remember the wedding. For me and Sue it was a magical time. I do
remember that during the service there was that point when the priest was
blessing us with the holy water and on the down stroke he hit the
microphone. There was a loud donk but to the congregation it look as
though I had been hit on the head. For Richard and the others I can understand it
was difficult to control themselves and some could not hold the composure
and just burst out laughing.
Also do you remember that the limos that were used for the wedding were
actually funeral cars! There were so many good memories.
The news is that we are still together and the only children we have are
those that were born whilst we were there. Naturally they have all grown
up Kerry, the eldest, works as a part time dealer. Tim is a dealer, Shane is
an apprentice baker and Nicole is in her final years at school. Both Sue and
myself are still in the industry and continue to think that it will not
be long before we go and try something else, as yet it has not happened but
you never know. Attached are some photograhs that just may bring back some
memories. Good luck to all of you and keep up the good work Neil. By the
way how is the web site going?

We will be in the new Dr. Martens stand and will get there nice and early so we can check out the museum and shop. We are playing Arsenal and having just beaten Man U. it will be a full house. Will probably see Dougie and hopefully, Roy as well. Good luck with the School. Have a Cool Yule, Neil

Hi Neil , just a note to say TA for all the snippets you keep sending , we are all fine here I just returned from Austria on a 4 day skiing trip ,as we border Austria it's a short drive to some of the best slopes in Europe .We are in the process of opening our own language school and are that stage where we are waiting for ,carpenters ,plumbers ,books and me ! to finish painting the doors ?? we will be open in Feb and registration starts in 3 weeks ??? so fingers crossed for us .If this is passed onto every one , I found a site called "friends united " form which I looked up my old school ,left a message and was contacted by my best friend !! which was really interesting but a bit frightening as sometimes we have a rather rosy image of the past and tend to fade out the bad times so if you do go there expect a few skeletons to appear ?Hi to everyone and keep sending your life stories and any memories good or bad that you have of Playboy.

==================================================^

Tim it is great to hear that you are alive and well. It has been a long time between drinks and tonight I will toast to your health and happiness. Not to sure just how up to date you are but I guess that since I have not seen your e-mail on the Old Playboy Bahamas Staff listing you are missing some information. Neil Glander, currently in America, is the link pin for news and scandal for all ex Playboy (Bahamas) staff. As you can see from the attached listing there are a lot of names from the past. They will be happy to hear that another name has been found and I am sure will make contact with you. Just recently John Barton was hear in Australia and even though the time was short (24 hours) it was great to catch up with him and his wife Joyce. When you next visit Chrissy and Abel would you please give them our best and our e-mail address it would be great to hear from them. Attached is also a picture of the family, sorry for the red eye, still trying to come to terms with the machine. The picture was taken on my birthday, in case you have not guessed that is me in the front, a little more weight than before but that is only due to good living and a good wife. Speaking of the 'idle' Sue is just behind me, she has Nicole (left), Kerry (right) behind the girls are the boys Tim and Shane (with the hat). It was a great day and I had a great time but like all things they come to an end. For the time being this is it I hope you enjoy the picture and the connections. Happy New Year, will be thinking of you and some of the fun we had together.

Regards Don, Sue, Kerry, Tim, Shane and Nicole

Hello to you too... Wow! what a lot of questions. But first a question for you. Is it to be Nina or Trish.

I email Trish and get a reply from Nina. Might confuse a lesser man!

Yes it was great to be home with the Family. They came to Nassau once or twice for Xmas but we have not been together as a Family for Xmas in England since '76. Katherine, my 6 year old niece ran the whole show of course. I would love see your Nassau pix but I can't circulate until I invest in a new scanner. I still work swing, off Tue/Wed so have never drank on property. We could always meet at the Atrium, or sum such place on a Tue or Wed. What are your days off? I am always

asking Don to join The Boys for a "ruby and a pint" but he no longer attends, citing diabetes medication and sleeping habits as an excuse. If we gang up on him, I bet he will join us, if only for a "swift half".

Hope to see you soon and a Happy New Year 2u2........... Neil.

Spent 5 days in the California "Desert Cities" (Palm Springs,

Am now thinking about moving out there!!!

Then I went HOME for Christmas. We have not been together as a

Family for Xmas for many years so that was Fantastic!!!

Also went to London to see Doug, Linda and the kids, who were their

usual hospitable selves. Doug even took me to West Ham in his sherbet!!!

Hope you all enjoy the new stuff. Sorry, AOL users, you may not get it all.

Hope everyone had Cool Yule, Happy New Year and all that Swaddling!!!!

No-one knows TRISH!!!!! Take care Neil. NINA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Neil,

Just got back from London last night to find a brochure you sent on the opening of your new casino. Did you just send it or has it been caught up in the mail backlog? I saw Tim Mitchell and a lot of Cable Beach staff but did not meet up with Copping or Roy Robinson. Seems to be a lot of interest in a short casino reunion cruise so I may propose one each for London and New York.

Regards,

Rodney

Rod,

Just sent the brochure.

Reunion Cruise: Shame we can't "all" get together. When I win the Lottery,

I will take over one floor of The Ambassador Beach Hotel for a week! (or 2)

A cruise in both London and New York is, of course, much more realistic.

They would certainly generate a lot of photos... Speaking of which, I am

still working on a web site. I have looked into Yahoo and MSN but I'm afraid

we would run out of space, real quick. A friend just gave me some software

so I can do a proper web site but I am very much a novice at this sort of

thing. I don't mind running it if anyone out there knows how to set it up.

From Chris Ash…

Hi Neil , how was Blighty what about the match ?? we are a sinking ship and the sooner we get rid of

what's 'his name ?? as manager and get in someone with experience or bring back 'arry we will sink into the dark depths of the 2nd div .I am really sad to hear about Paulo he is the one player that everyone comes to watch and a once in a lifetime genius but when Man U comes knocking it's difficult to refuse but he won't be happy there after a while he will get pissed off sitting on the bench coming on for the last 10 mins but I guess he feels it's his last chance for a medal and I wish him well .

It was nice to read Mad dog Billys letter I have such vivid memories of him I remember he was on the box when I paid the first bet on a Vegas layout and all the gaming board were there waiting to see if we could deal with this new craps game and to be honest I wasn't too confident at first ,if you remember the old Bahamas game ,it was such a different layout it really took a bit of time to change over to the Vegas style ,anyway Billy as I remember him was one of the most popular ,fun ,mad ,blokes I have ever met he was always interesting with the places he had worked and the things he had done a real character and from his letter he has lived up to his reputation .

It was also interesting to read Ian Boughey's letter ,he and I were good mates , we trained for and ran the NY marathon I always knew he wasn't right for the casino , I contacted him in 1991 when I was working in Nice and he was in Geneva working for Brooks shoes as their main distributor ? or something like that , I was supposed to fly over and meet him but somehow didn't get around to do it and then lost touch and then hearing that he had opened a school was a bit of a shock as I had just opened mine he said he started with 20 students and that's what I have ! but I doubt if I will reach his total of 550 ? but who knows ?

I still laugh my bollocks off about the time me and Keith Hickling were on AR one night and I was chipping for 2 tables probably cos we were too pissed to deal anything else ?? we were using the plastic tops from the spiral on the wheel and giving them to people as drink holders trying to hold my laughs while asking them to put their drinks in it ?? ,I was peeing myself watching the little glass slam to the bottom and then watching their attempts to reach the straw with their fingers and sit there wondering how to drink it ,!!! Guess you had to be there ?? do you remember Steve Kaye ,also the junkets from Canada and the raffles which were held at the last minute before they left ? he was mad ,he got so peeed off doing it he once made an announcement that tonight's competition was to try and find the Bunny which was actually one of the lads dressed up as one and in order to win the prize you had to find him and declare that he is the bloke and you claim your prize ?? well I remember this little old lady ? standing for ages in front of what was the red haired girl from Manchester ,Melinda,Mellissa ?? any way this lady eventually declared she was the one in disguise and she claimed her prize which put this girl into tears ? poor thing ? and the time we signed all the photos of Hugh Hefner in the Playboy brochures and passed them off as real ? does anyone have any good momentos ? I have a brand new still rolled up full dice layout and 2 BJ cloths ?? also a few training chips and a BJ shoe , also a 1975 West Ham cup final shirt and a 1965 Cup final prog ??? sorry the last 2 were only for your interest ,

keep in touch

Chris

Chris,

Blighty was great. Fantastic being Home for the Holidays. (Politically Incorrect to say

Christmas in USA) The match was very entertaining despite Arsenal being their usual boring self's.

Not sure if I agree with you about Glenn Roeder. I have a good feeling about him. The players seem to like him. I blame the Bean Counters that pull the purse strings who pissed off Harry and Frank in the first place. We'll see!!! Big match tomorrow, 4th round re-play vs.. Chelsea. I will be listening live on the net.

You remember more than I about the "good old days". I laughed out loud whilst reading your latest anecdotes. A couple of names came up that I have been thinking about. Steve Kay... I remember dealing craps one day, he was box and I was being distracted by a piece gum which was right where I wanted my foot to be. "What's the matter with you"? "I'm sticking to the floor!"... "Oh my God, Glander 's discovered gravity!!!

Then there Keith Hickling. Me old mate Billericay. Wonder ever happened to him? Back in Southend perhaps.

I have a one or two other PBB emails to answer so you will be hearing from me again real soon.

Hope you remember some more stories soon.

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Hi Neil , what a crap end to a decent game !! their 1st was a cheap free kick ,one of those taken when nobody was ready ,which is not sour grapes it's the face of football today I doubt if a real world class player of any calibre would have done it ,the 2nd was a complete fuck up Hutch tried a soft header back to James but it fell short and some blonde nobody scuffed it through his legs and the 3rd was from hell ,last kick of the game and another hooligan from the Wise mold outjumped a 2m tall defence to head it in ,Chelsea are a team of has beens and will never win the league the only chance is the cup which when you think how much they cost it's a piss poor return ,if you take out Hasslwank and Zola you have nothing but flash one match wonders and I have lost my respect for them as a team since that twat Bates who's face always reminds me of a scotty dogs arse ,got rid of Vialli and when all their over 30's retire they will go back to where they were a team of cloggers , WE HATE CHELSEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway mate as you can see I was a bit peeeeeed off not so much losing but the way we can't hold onto the ball and have such a disjointed defence , sure Winterburn is a good player but we need some younger blood ,saying that Cole was hardly at the game at all I never saw him at all the only gem was defoe who is not only quick and can finish but he made the French Gorilla at the back look like a plonker on numerous occasions ,oh well we can concentrate on staying up ? and we will see about Mr Roeder ???

I must admit that having the Sky digital makes life here easier but my Czech is worse from not listening to the CZ progs .

Keep in touch ,

Chris ,

oh talking of Hickling we worked together on a little casino boat in !984 going on 1 day cruises from San Diego to Mexico ? we had a laugh but it got a bit boring and I left after a few months ,I heard he went to Engien in Paris with Martin Strong but I'm not sure ,Paul Berne was one of the managers of Casino Austria somewhere in Poland ?? when I was the Assistant here ,do you remember Doris pushing Kevin Brookes in the pool one afternoon when he came out posing on a break he wasn't happy ?? or when this old security guard eat a large piece of a special !!! cake someone had brought in ?? and had to be taken to hospital as he thought he was having a heart attack but was miraculously fine the next day ??

Dear Neil, I have enjoyed receiving your e-mails and copies of
e-mails.
I received a telephone call from Peter Byrne in London
several nights ago inquiring as to my health and welfare as I
had not replied to a couple of e-mails sent by him reference
the upcoming trip to Oz by himself and Maria this October to
visit his son (one of the twins) who is now working out of
Sydney. This call made me realise that I had a P.C. e-mail
problem, which since the change of ibm.net to attglobal.net
has beset my antique set with ongoing 'hell'. When I finally
corrected the latest glitch last night, there were 41 separate
e-mails waiting at the 'gate', many being connected with
your U.K.& Bahamas Playboy lists. What a pleasant onslaught!
I am still in touch with many 'Playboyites' including Derek
Barnard who is 72 years old now, as also is Andy Wheeler
(Chief Cashier London) and Ron Hurley in Oz who left London to
open the first Casino in Australia.
I will not take time now on an update of my 'personals' but
will compose a suitable 93 page release over the next couple
of weeks which you might be kind enough to distribute the
reason being that I am a complete computer' nerd'. John Barton
paid a visit to me here with his Family as did the 123's
who live in Victoria, all with children tall as trees and
'sassy'. Tony Martin was here but the Family suffered illness
and didn't reach me. The recent reunion in London organized by
Tynna working her butt off for Ron and myself, the result
being near-on 70 wonderful people most of whom we left
after 7 hours, whilst they drew a second breath. I will now
draw breath.
I will use the photos of the reunion to make a list of people
who may be remembered by people on either or both of your
current lists. Tim Mitchell is in Gibraltar, but I have lost
touch in recent months, and Robin Powell is presently living
in Atlantic City. Wally Foord phoned me from Spain in January
to update and to complain that he wasn't told about the
reunion.
I was pleased to see that Victor made contact with you, and
look forward to sending him a greeting. The Playboy years were
and are a tremendous part of my life experience, and are
irreplaceable in terms of the people themselves and their
obvious and continuing attachment to each other. Sincere and
Kind Regards.
Bernie,

How nice to hear from you. Welcome to the list(s)

It sounds like you have read all the attachments.

There are three for the Bahamas list: PB1, PB2 AND PB3.

There is one for the UK list: PBUK1. (PBUK2 is under

construction.) Let me know if you feel that you have missed

anything and I will send them to you.

As reminder to you, and anyone else who is on both lists,

you will receive two copies of this. If anyone wants to be

removed from one or added to the other, please let me know.

Ed Petty just made the UK list much longer but three of

the "new names" are bouncing back. If anyone can help,

they are Michael Brooks, Val Lownes and Stewart Knight.

To check the list in MS Outlook Express:

Right click - Properties - Details.

Bernie... I will never forget how kind you were to me in my

hour of need, when I had that road accident in Nassau and I

"thought" that I had killed someone. Thank you once again

and many times.

You were wrong about one thing though!!!

You probably always thought of me as a young whipper-snapper

that would never amount to much. Well, guess what!!!???

I am no longer a "YOUNG" whipper-snapper!!!!!!! So there!!!!!

Kind regards to you and all on the lists.

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Great hearing from Bernie

Dear Glenn and Angie,

If you look throught the list below you recognise a lot of the old Playboy names. Following the death of Ronnie Lee last year (and Tom Naughton) people started reestablishing contact with each other and Neil Glander has become the unofficial and unpaid communications manager. I also still talk to Nick Hughes who is currently managing a Hyatt casino in Argentina.

As for myself I stayed in the Bahamas with Playboy until they closed in August 1983 and then was hired by Carnival and have been with them ever since. I moved to the Miami office in 1989 and live just west of Fort Lauderdale. Married to Julie from California and have two kids, Christopher 14 this week and Brieanne who is 8.

Pass Neil's email address out to John and Terri etc and join the nostalgia network.

Best Regards,
Rodney C. Dofort

Hi Neil,

Hope you have got yourself a good job in the California sun. I have just made contact with Glen and Angie Hunt through the UK website Friendsreunited and I will forward their email when I get a chance.

Best Regards,
Rodney C. Dofort

Best regards and I trust that California will deliver all that you are
looking for. Watch out for the sun and bikinis.Regards

HOW ARE YOU BOTH DOING? CAN'T BELEIVE HOW THE 'KIDS' GROW UP SO FAST.

SHULA IS NEARLY 16 AND KYLIE 14. A PAIR OF HOOLIGANS, JUST LIKE THEIR DAD!!

I WAS AT CHRISSY AND ABEL'S CHRISTMAS PARTY LAST NIGHT. THEY HAVE A HUGE VILLA IN MARBELLA.

I HAVE ALSO LOST BERNIE'S ADDRESS. IF YOU SPEAK TOI HIM , GIVE HIM MY LOVE AND IF THIS E.MAIL GETS THROUGH CAN YOU LET ME HAVE HIS DETAILS.

TIM

P.S WILL HAVE A LARGE STOLLY AND TONIC TO OLD FRIENDSHIPS TODAY

Please add me to your mailing list. How very enterprising of you to collect the names, and hope you will find a few more at friends reunited. Your newsletter brought
back a few memories. How could the time have flown so fast. I hope to hear
from you, and especially if there are any forthcoming reunions.
Keep in touch, best regards,
Cindy

Dear Neil
I have your e-mail address from Cindy Lowe (Bunny Cindy) who has
recently been in touch with Rod Dofort. Do you remember me? I was
Bunny Teresa in Nassau. I was there for two years - late 79 to 81.
Cindy forwarded your latest group e-mail to me and seeing all the names
brought memories flooding back although I wasn't able to put faces to
all the names.
I settled in England after my return from Nassau, did a degree and then
a Masters and have recently moved to Devon, working for Plymouth
University.
Do you have any news of Phil Stokes?
Would love to be added to your list.
Best wishes.
Teresa

Hi Neil
Glad you got my e-mail. Your travels sound fascinating too. It's
funny, twenty years on and I can still clearly see us all back in Nassau
being totally reckless!
I got married - very briefly (1.5 years) in 1985 and have never bothered
to change my name back - I was Bevis. I'm very happy and love it here
as I'm living near to some wonderful beaches, doing sailing etc.
Anyway, have to go now but look I'll forward to hearing from you again
sometime.
Best wishes to you and also to all those who knew me.
Teresa

Steve,
Good to welcome you back into the Playboy fold. Neil will copy you
on the address list and some of the update emails that people have sent in.
Stabb is still in touch and living in Norway, Ian Boughey is in Switzerland,
Andy Watt is a manager on one of our cruiseships. Jim McIntosh is currently
about to start work in Atlantic City, last bumped into Hickling about 5
years ago.
Anyway enjoy the emails that Neil sends and maybe you have some old
Bahamas photos that you can post on the site.

Hi Rod
Yes put me on your list of ex Playboy staff so that I can receive hundreds
of e-mails and special offers!
How are you?
I had heard a little bit about you and the general play of things from Paul
Stabb in around 1996.
He was running a model agency in Chester and I got him to arrange part of a
theme night we were having at a company I was working for at the time.
Since then I have moved into Telecoms and am working for Telia at present.
Telia is the Swedish equivalent to BT and I work for their international arm
supplying products and services to the ISP market place.
I have a desk in London, but work from home in Manchester.
London wages, Manchester house prices!
I was in contact with Jim Macintosh for some time, but he has disappeared
off the radar.
Do you remember Ray Pickelis? I met him at a service station on the M5 near
Bristol.
He seemed to be selling insurance, but has moved from the company he was at.
Have you ever heard from Kevin Hicklin?
It would be nice to hear from others that shared the strange times of
Playboy (Bahamas) Ltd.

Hi Neil
I have enclosed a photo of me being "smooth" seventies style in Toronto.
Bernie had decided that as I should do a travel show for Adventure Tours and
to save money they sent two Bunnies from New York to work with me!
Hard times.
I have (as we all do) enough anecdotes to fill several books, but here is
one that still makes me laugh.

Teresa had been falling out with her boyfriend of the time (Howard?) and
having little heated discussions from time to time.
Instructions had gone out that Bunnies should leave the floor via the door
next to the cashier's and go straight to the Bunny room.
No loitering!
Male members of staff were to leave by the main casino entrance and go
straight upstairs.
I happened to notice that as Teresa left for her break, Howard was following
her to continue their discussion and had gone out through the side door
after her.
I followed and caught up with them out in the corridor.
Just as I was pointing out the error of their ways, the President of Mexico
came storming round the corner with his full entourage.
He mistook us as a greeting party from Playboy and shook each of our hands
with gusto and then moved on at a clip!
I still remember Teresa's face to this day!

Cheers

Feb ’03…

Dear Playboy UK list..

Such a nice email from 'Ernie Balloon', as we used to call him in the Bahamas.

(For those that don't know... The 123's and Bernie have been 'down under' for

some time now!)

Dear Neil, I see that you are now settling in,’ a couple of towns over' and wish you well with the future. I am fascinated by the enjoyment that is being derived from your Playboy Lists and by the renewals of old friends and acquaintances. I have recently exchanged correspondence with Paul Stabb. Please give my regards to David and I will write to the 'Kowski' in the next several days. I was recently the suprise guest at the Sue Oleary 50th which was expertly arranged by her children (and Don ) and fortunately I was not required to 'leap' out of a cake in School Uniform, but was held incognito in the 'Gents' toilet downstairs until the appropriate moment of surprise. It has always suprised and delighted me that Sue really has no understanding of how much people truly 'Love' and appreciate her and her attitude to her Family and her many friends. A fine person and a fine couple. Going back to the 'Gents' toilet, after several approaches of a dubious nature I removed myself to the ' Ladies', so much more refined. It has been slightly HOT here in Queensland recently, but looks to improve in latter days, but I am taking myself off to Tasmania for 5 days to visit with some of the real 'Golden Oldies' such as Ron Hurley and Peter Barnard (Derek's brother)> Take Care.

End PB 6

Enter Playboy U.K.

Neil,

While in London I chatted to several old Playboy employees from London in the seventies together with many Bahamas employees from after Playboy's demise. All are interested in making contact but they fall outside the original criteria for our group which was 'Playboy, Bahamas'. What do you think? I am inclined to add all who want to the list since it is all part of the value and enjoyment of networking. This is why I check gamingfloor.com every day.

Rodney

Hi Playboy UK List.

Yes folks, there are now two Playboy Lists.

Playboy Bahamas, and now, Playboy UK.

Names of people that I never knew started to come up, so I decided to make

a UK list. I was only at London Playboy for a short while before becoming

one of only six people who can say that they opened and closed Playboy Bahamas.

This list is mainly for the benefit of David, Mike and John, who I never knew.

I have added names from the Bahamas List that I know were in

London before me. Let me know if I should add any more.

Happy Communicating...

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Hi Mike,

Someone said they had seen you in the bar at the TCS stand but I never managed to make contact. I have copied this to Neil Glander at the Mohegan Sun who has been circulating email addresses. I know I already gave you Bernie's. I think we will have to look seriously at starting an ex Playboy Casino message board or web site.

Name is Mike Bowen and I worked at Playboy back in the early 70's. Drank beer with the likes of Wally Foorde & Andy Gregory down at the 'Coach'.

Married Bunny Dominique (Christine) in Freeport '74. Since divorced and remarried to Jane with 3 kids all born here in Kenya. Two kids are at school in Dublin.

I have a small casino on the rooftop of a great seafood establishment here in Mombasa see: www.tamarind.co.ke

I'd love to get in touch with some of the old crowd through your contacts. I had an email from Dave Marshall which had your contact on it. I saw him some days ago at the London ICE show.

Looking forward to any contacts you can supply me with.

Regards,

Mike.

Hello Neil, great of you to pass-on all the e-mail's....keep it up! Brian McMUllen's EX sister in law who is British plays in Foxwoods...we got talking, one thing led to another and l gave her to give to him my e-mail address. may l give him yours? He remembered the Duchess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still in touch with the girl/woman that was Bunny Polly, long dark hair, looked a little like Jane Seymour, she's down in A/C may l give her your e-mail address too? Best regards, i'll be in touch to meet up....we had a player in doing the classic French bets and progressive single zero $195,000 payoffs..........l had to brush the dust off! but it went well, Adrian said the same thing too, he covered the grave shift......WISH we had more REAL roulette play! NINA>>>

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!good-morning, it's going to snow!!!!!!!! What is Bernie Mulhern doing? where is he? have a good day, Nina....

I have no idea. I think he is in Australia, in the same neck of the woods as 123.

2 of the 3 new Playboy UK addresses bounced back. Will resubmit when I

figure out what I did wrong. (John & David)

That Roulette punter sounds like fun. Adrian was telling me about him

This isn't Caribbean Stud you know!!!

David and John (who I met in London)

Neil Glander is the unofficial (and unpaid) facilitator of the list of ex Playboy and ex Bahamas email addresses that is being passed around. Neil is at the Mohegan Sun which also hosts Don Kennaugh (manxman) who John wanted to say hi to. I believe you both also mentioned Bernie so I have attached his email as well.

I hope to be able to propose some brief reunion cruises in the next year where many of us will be able to meet and chat.

It was a pleasure meeting you at the recent ICE Ball, even if one had to shout to make any form of conversation.

I would be very pleased if you would include my address on the Playboy circuit that you have going and I could you give other names to add to it.

Best regards, David Marshall

hi!

You can add my name, Ricky Pritchard spent time there early 70,s training with Gay and Derek Barnard then on to v.i.p. lounge with Jim Wrethman, Worked with Bernie and have stayed friends with him ever since and Dave Marshall. Still got great memories and miss the guys lots regards Ricky

Hi this is Bunny Polly
I worked at Playboy from 1972 to 1975 then to the Clermont until 1979.
I left to work in Torequebrada Spain for a spell then back to Playboy for 1 year and in 1981 they sent me to Atlantic City as a Pit Boss. I was there for 7 years then Went to The Sands and spent the last 13 years as a Shift Manager.
After 29 years I have finally left the Casinos and I am now retired and messing with Stain Glass
I have stayed good friends with the Duchess and she keeps me up to date with the goings on.
I miss the good old days and still have my Bunny costumes but they look a bit silly with the gray hair.
Best wishes Polly DUERDEN. (Nina never was good at spelling)

A OK , I got your message, don't forget john Lan, speak to you soon about the( good good good) old day's

Hi Neil,

Could you enter my address as bowen@mombasatown.com as it is far easier to retrieve messages! I look forward to hearing from all those grey haired mates from the past...by the way I'm still blond and look about 42!

Mombasa is a great destination for any considered reunion...we have the beaches and the safaris to 'combine' many great discounts available through associates with Game Lodges & hotels. Plus I have the casino..check out my location: www.tamarind.co.ke

Regards, Mike Bowen.

Dear Playboy UK list...

As you all know, I was having a snag or two with a couple

of email addresses. Thank you David, for getting Roger sorted.

I am no longer getting any bounce backs so you should all be

able to chat with everyone on the list.

See attachment, PBUK1, to get updated on the gossip.

Nothing to juice yet. All very,... I'm here, where the fuck are you,

kind of stuff, but I am sure that will change.

I view this list as being in two parts...

1: Playboy London. Most of whom I never met, and...

2: Those of you who were on the Playboy Bahamas list and were

at 45 before I was.

A couple of things I remember about me brief stay at 45...

There was a staff party where I remember a couple of blokes

playing the part of the ultra ego of a Dealer and an Inspector who,

having started out, treating Abdul with the respect to which he was

accustomed, ended up strangling him with his tie... Howls of approving laughter!

...Would have been around xmas '77.

I think it was Copping, or some such character that said it would be a "FAB" party.

"FAB"????????... "That's a naff old saying," said I.

"Fuck A Bunny!" he said!... So I did!... Those were the days!!!!!!!!!!!!...

...Then there's the Fleetwood Mac album, "Rumors"!... When ever I hear a track

from that album, it reminds me of the trips that Rod and I made from Highgate

to Hyde Park every day! I'll bet he still has the 8 Track! (Just kidding!, it was a

cassette.) Makes you (one) feel old, though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The word "Playboy" will always give me mixed emotions:

Best days!, and friendships that will last a lifetime!, but...

if Christie had her way, there would still be about 50 of us, "cap in hand" on

Bay Street. We'd have a laugh, though!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Dear Neil,
I got a copy of your list. THANKS.

Hello there Neil, Although a few people, such as Eddy P have my email address, it would be nice to be added to your 'official list' of ex Playboy employees. Reading a recent email from Eddy and David Marshall it was like going down memory lane looking at all those names from the past. How well I recall those 10years from 1972 onwards - the FUN years. looking forward to keeping in touch -regards - Malcolm Kessel

Hi Neal,
This is Ricki Chavez-Munoz, Playboy UK 1972-1980.
David Marshall has copied me the list you are creating and
would like you to add my address as follows:
rrchm@yahoo.com
I dont remember working with you, and if we did, please accept
my apologies for not having your name or face at the fore of my
memorable archives!
All the same, surely we know most of the people on the list and
give them all my warmest regards and good wishes. I shall be
writing to some of the 'old' faces directly.
Cheers.
Ricki.

Dear Neil, Please add me to the U.K. list, I don't recognise many of the names so far because I was at Park Lane from it's opening

night in 1966 until late '71 - early '72. I was a croupier, and ran the training school prior to Derek Barnard. Tynna and I are good friends and see each other regularly, Jon Harris was a close friend and came to my wedding in1977, we have managed to re-connect recently - thanks to modern technology!!!

Is there any one else out there who remembers me? Bernie of course [ who I have a special soft spot for] always fun to work with!

Does anyone know where Bill Gerrard is?

Looking forward to more news and contacts.

All names below are now on Playboy UK list.

Letter from Bernie…

How nice to hear from you. Welcome to the list(s)

It sounds like you have read all the attachments.

There are three for the Bahamas list: PB1, PB2 AND PB3.

There is one for the UK list: PBUK1. (PBUK2 is under

construction.) Let me know if you feel that you have missed

anything and I will send them to you.

As reminder to you, and anyone else who is on both lists,

you will receive two copies of this. If anyone wants to be

removed from one or added to the other, please let me know.

Ed Petty just made the UK list much longer but three of

the "new names" are bouncing back. If anyone can help,

they are Michael Brooks, Val Lownes and Stewart Knight.

Bernie... I will never forget how kind you were to me in my

hour of need, when I had that road accident in Nassau and I

"thought" that I had killed someone. Thank you once again

and many times.

You were wrong about one thing though!!!

You probably always thought of me as a young whipper-snapper

that would never amount to much. Well, guess what!!!???

I am no longer a "YOUNG" whipper-snapper!!!!!!! So there!!!!!

Kind regards to you and all on the lists.

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Great hearing from Bernie
Victor L

You don't know me. We never met but I knew Val very well

in the Bahamas. We played a lot of Backgammon.

Emails to him are bouncing back. Would you please give me

an up to date email address for him. Thanks!

Hope all is well,

Neil.

Subject: Re: Letter from Bernie (Eddie please forward to Bernie) Hi Eddie and Bernie
Thanks so much for the long letters that I got on my computer a while back.
Glad to see you guys are still kicking and funny.
The last time I saw Eddie I was an Inspector at the Clermont in the 1980"s
You may remember me when I used to deal Punto Banco with William and Louis. The 2 funny Frenchmen. Chris Raphael and Otto were there at the time. John Lang was the Manager that promoted me to Inspector and he told me "you know this is as fare as you go?"...........Nice one John!
The last time I was with Bernie (He came to New Jersey at the same time as I) Was when I was a Shift Manager at the Sands and he visited town and we had a meal in the coffee shop and talked of old times. Bernie used to love to torture us little girls Bunnies in the old days. He had me in his office in Park Lane and wanted to know why I drove a better car than he (I had a Red E. Type Jag at the time) Oh Happy Days No Bernie I was not stealing I was, and still am, a thrifty girl who likes Jaguars. I have a 19 year old girl in the garage right now! Remember Bernie I even brought in my Halifax Building Society Savings Book to prove my point. Those were back in the days of Joe Blott and Jim Madison. (What ever happened to those characters?)
Well, since Playboy London and Clermont I went to Spain (disaster at Torequebrada) and Back to Playboy London the then to Playboy Atlantic City for 7 Years as a Pit Boss and then to the Sands AC where I stayed for 13 years as a Manager. 29 years was enough for me. They had a lay off and I raised my hand and said "TAKE ME PLEASE" I have taken a well deserved year off (I am also not in the best of health) Now my husband and I are planning on selling our fine home and moving to the Sun! Not sure where. Florida, perhaps, who knows where you are safe in this crazy world. When the Twin Towers fell our garden was foggy with the dust from the devastation. Although we live 121 miles away I felt like it was right next door.
Time to move to happier shores.
We also have two, Nine Year old Yellow Labs that we have to think of. Not counting our 80+ fish, but that is another story.
Oh well, sorry to go on so. My fingers love to type? It is nothing to do with my head you understand. I am old now remember!
Regards to you both and hope we can stay in touch through the waves.
Love Polly Duerden Bernie Hicks (Husband) and Avalon and Pickles.

Best regards and I trust that California will deliver all that you are
looking for. Watch out for the sun and bikinis.Regards
Don O'Leary

Glad you are in one piece.
Do let me know what you are doing in California?
Your E mail list looks to grow every time I see it
I am so glad you did this for everyone.
Regards Polly Duerden
