Lavere Redfield was one of Reno’s most peculiar millionaires — a shrewd stock and real‑estate investor who distrusted banks, battled the IRS, gambled big, hoarded bigger, and lived a life wrapped in secrecy. He was a ruthless dealmaker, a notorious philanderer, a man who dodged cameras, and the victim of multiple headline‑making robberies. In this 55‑minute program, local historians David & Gayle Woodruff draw on extensive research to unravel the quirky, contradictory, and often bizarre story of one of Reno’s least‑known yet most eccentric “public” figures, revealing the strange legacy Redfield left behind. The history program will be on Tuesday, August 11 at 1:30 pm at the Carson City Senior Center, Nevada Room (west end). Free Event. RSVP not necessary.
