Paul Hejmanowski and this family moved to Las Vegas in 1972 and recalls his first impressions of the city as well as special individuals that he knew who had an impact upon the city. His two sons went to pre-school through high school in Las Vegas and then studied law and, entered his father’s law firm. Paul and Char became very active in their community, Char working as a clerk in the Presbyterian Church, the DeBolt Foundation for children with special needs, and the Assistance League. Paul recalls his children’s activities at Lorenzi Park such as fishing in the pond there, boating on the lake, hiking, Huntridge and Redrock movie theaters, and traveling to an area near Caliente to cut down their Christmas tree. Meanwhile, Paul’s hobbies consisted of boating, hiking, building furniture, restoring homes, and enhancing his neighborhood. Not only has Las Vegas changed greatly since 1972 regarding various services, but Paul compares the number of justices and lawyers at the time with those in Las Vegas today. It was difficult during the 1970s to recruit attorneys while applications today with his firm are numerous. The style of office work has also changed from having dial phones, typewriters, duplicating machines to bringing in modern technology which makes the business of law much easier for both attorneys and clients. Paul Hejmanowski served as the Managing Partner at Lionel Sawyer & Collins and Vice-Chairman of the Firm’s Litigation Department. He is widely regarded for his expertise in a variety of complex commercial disputes and tort litigation.

Nevadans Dixie Morrison and Neil A. Brundy met in 1959 at a rodeo in St. George, Utah. Born in St. George, Utah, Dixie was raised in Meadow Valley Wash, in Lincoln County, Nevada, on an 800-acre ranch, where she milked cows, barrel-raced, and attend high school via correspondence. Neil lived in Caliente until he was four, when his parents bought ten acres near Rancho Road (US 95) and moved to Las Vegas. Neil attended Fifth Street School, Las Vegas High School, and graduated from Rancho High School’s first graduating class in 1957. The couple married in 1964 in the Little Church of the Flowers and proudly parented six sons. In this interview, the Brundys describe life in rural Nevada and in Las Vegas in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s; work on the railroads; barrel-racing; and rodeos. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they also talk about their family history work. Their memories evoke the streetscapes of pre- and postwar Las Vegas, its outskirts and downtown; race- and class-based tensions in the schools; the glamour of Las Vegas casinos when they were owned and operated by the mob; and the country music stars who performed downtown. Now residents of Southern Utah, Dixie and Neil come to Las Vegas to hear hardcore rock. Their three youngest sons formed the hardcore rock band, Folsom. When Folsom plays locally the proud parents attend a performance and enjoy family time with their band member sons and the sons and their families who live locally.
