Henry L. Regan Jr. was born March 09, 1948 and was raised in New York. He grew up a tough kid who often tried to fill the shoes of his absent father. Regan, with his mother and younger siblings, arrived in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1958 when he was ten years old. Regan joined a gang and survived the surrounding violence during the 1960s and 1970s—during what he describes his time as a “wild” teen on the Westside of Las Vegas. With the help of caring people and spiritual guides, Regan escaped his addictions and intense path. He became a skycap at McCarran Airport, a position he held for 32 years before retiring. Regan and his wife, Alfreida, met at church and married in 1972.
