Many Las Vegas names seem to be given on a whim. A person’s name may be attached to a road or a building, not through any special connection to the place but simply to honor or remember that person. This is not the case with William G. Bennett Field at 6800 E. Russell Road.

   I have alot of books that were Bill Bennets, A hotel resale furniture store had a bunch of books that caught my eye, my son started flipping through the pages and came across a NASA book that a man named John Kiker wrote a note to Bill Bennett thanking him for making them feel at home during the Tournament of Champions and it was autographed by about 30 astronauts, There is alot of other books also. I read alot about him, he was a great man. I contacted his daughter and she told me that she hoped we enjoyed the books I liked them when I bought them. And that made them so much better, I can send up a copy of the letter with the autographs if you would like a copy
