All of your favorite games: '21', craps, poker, roulette, bingo, keno, or the loosest slots found in the Silver State!"

Davis, Dianna, 1955-

Dianna Davis worked at the Clark County School District [CCSD] after a short stint as a maid where she was accosted by a hotel visitor and worked in fear afterwards. CCSD was better; she became a baker at the location that supplied food for all the schools in the county. Her fond memory is her favorite teacher, Mrs. Moten, who instilled a pride in blackness in her African American students. [Mrs. Moten is the mother of Fred Moten, the critical thinker of our times who is Professor of Performance Studies at NY University.]
