Long-time Las Vegas resident and successful restauranteur Battista Locatelli shares his life-story in Ciao, Battista. From his childhood in Italy during World War II, to his immigration to America and pursuit of a singing career, and eventual opening of the wildly successful Battista s Hole in the Wall near the Las Vegas strip, Battista recounts his memoirs with a blend of directness and humor, and shoots straight from the hip. Anyone with a love of American dream success stories or Las Vegas history is sure to enjoy this fast-paced read. Battista Locatelli is best known as the successful restauranteur from Las Vegas, Nevada. But he started out as a skinny little boy growing up in a small town in Italy before the Second World War. Recorded here in his memoirs are the stories of the events and people that helped shape his life. He approached each job with initiative and determination from making deliveries in a mule-drawn cart as a young boy, to towing logs in the Swiss mountains as a teenager, to operating farm equipment then working in a slaughterhouse in northern California, delivering hotel room service orders to celebrities in Hollywood, and driving buses in Las Vegas and made lasting friends along the way. In Ciao, Battista this eighty-something-year-old Italian- American man shows just what one can accomplish with common sense and hard work.

This unique narrative is teeming with over two years of adventure, tension, artistry and joy. Rich Gerston took a leap by teaching abroad in the foreign country, and by sheer luck, he ended up in Chile, where he most wanted to live. There he endured the events of the brutal Pinochet dictatorship, had unparalleled experiences with fellow teachers, and formed magnificent friendships. He took superb trips, experiencing the only rainless place on Earth and Norway-like fjords in the same long, skinny country. Good Morning, Meestair Reech combines three themes: it discloses the author s personal day-to-day life story, it opens the readers eyes to the spectacularity of Chile and its neighbors, and it gives overseas teacher candidates guidelines and insight.

It began as an idea in the mind of a medical student at Duke University. Later in 1969 that idea became a reality. In that year Dr. Jim Powell—with Ernie Knesel as the laboratory manager and Powell’s brothers, Ed and John, as coinvestors—started a medical testing laboratory in Burlington, a small North Carolina town.As time passed, the company and its successors revolutionized medical treatment and assured millions of patients faster and more thorough testing to determine their health problems and how they should be treated. In the past it might have taken two weeks to get test results, often delaying treatment necessary for the patient’s well-being. This new company, however, soon made it possible—even in rural areas—to get sophisticated, state-of-the-art lab testing with twenty-four-hour turnaround, resulting in better medicine.Today, that company, after internal growth and many mergers and acquisitions, is the largest of its kind in the world, serving millions of people not only in the United States but in several foreign countries as well. It is one of the few S&amp;P 500 companies headquartered in North Carolina, and those facilities remain in Burlington. We now know it as LabCorp.

Nelle Smith's husband was the person responsible for marketing and development of Hilton Head Island from the beginning. This is an inside look at what it was like to move to a backwater, albeit a naturally beautiful one, and to help develop it as a seaside paradise, with nationally known golf and tennis tournaments and luxurious resorts and homes.
