McGee, Trula E., 1952-

Trula McGee grew up in a military family where children were well behaved, intelligent, and an asset to the family's community representation. She migrated to Las Vegas in 1952 and lived for a short time in Carver Park in Henderson and attended Basic High School. McGee lived on the Westside as a young adult and remembers the Golden West Shopping Center, Reubens Supper Club (H and Owens), Larry's Sight and Sound, and other Westside locations. The family shopped for clothing at Sears and JC Penney in the downtown area. McGee worked as a teller at Nevada State Bank but soon found lucrative employment in the gaming industry as a Keno writer and runner. She worked at the Sands, Castaways, Silver Slipper, and other hotel casinos. She became close to Wayne Newton and Marvin Gaye.
