Talk:Korwin Hailey

Korwin Eugene Hailey born in Emporia, Kansas... he also lived in Colorado Springs... this info was acctually taken from the Monday, March 10, 1997 issue of the newspaper Colorado Springs Gazette (Page 12) which says that Korwin E. Hailey a former resident in Colorado Springs who was a coin machine operator married with Reiko Kay Hailey died in Las vegas on March 3 1997, etc, etc... the newspaper is hosted in this "stinky" website... they want money so they only let us see the zoomed version of that page once... and as you guys can see here a Korwin Eugene Hailey born in Kansas, living in El Paso, Colorado is listed in the "U.S. WWII Draft Cards Young Men, 1940-1947"... so I guess we can say that Sega Retro "scored a goal"...--Asagoth (talk) 05:00, 4 January 2019 (EST)

"The Khaki Mafia: A novel"...

"June Collins made international news headlines in 1969 when she became a whistle-blower and testified before a U.S. Senate Committee. An ex exotic-dancer / rock-band agent, she pointed the finger at a group of corrupt American Army sergeants who managed the military clubs and made millions during the Vietnam war by demanding kickbacks from all booking agents and sales people. Hated by some, she was called a heroine by many and became part of the history of the Vietnam War. The Khaki Mafia, a slightly fictionalized account of the events became one of the best selling books on Vietnam. It was co-authored with Robin Moore (author The French Connection.) The Khaki Mafia was only the first of June's books about the Vietnam war. She has since written two true stories; Goodbye Junie Moon and a sequel, Junie Moon Rising.

During her many years living in Asia, June had become appalled by the plight of the abandoned street children. She later adopted six children, ranging in age from 3 to 13, from India, Korea, Columbia and the USA."

Yep... one of the whistle-blowers... and apparently her books Goodbye "Junie Moon" and the sequel, "Junie Moon Rising" are not fictional novels... but two true stories based on what she knew and saw...Asagoth (talk) 15:37, 23 January 2020 (EST)

Freddy Bailey memory was much better in 2006 than in 2015...

So this is what Freddy Bailey said in 2015 at www.coinopcollectorforum.com... but what he said privately to User: Mills (from Levallois, France) of www.flippers-jukeboxes.net (a French forum) in 2006 is much more interesting... Mills never had any patents in Japan so Martin was able to knock off the Mills mechanism :) ... the Sega Bell was indeed an exact copy of the Mills High Top 777... :) ...--Asagoth (talk) 22:13, 23 January 2020 (EST)

Edit: and as you guys can see here he was not lying... TJM Corporation (The Jennings Mills Corporation) was runned by Tony Mills and his brother John and closed doors in the mid 1980s (they were still doing business in 1980, as seen here )... they were the last owners of the trademark Mills...Asagoth (talk) 22:39, 23 January 2020 (EST)
