Transcript of interview with Bert Hood by Dennis McBride, June 16, 1998

Bert Hood is celebrated in Las Vegas's gay history for his ownership of the Red Barn, one of our most famous gay bars. This is another of those serendipitous interviews I've conducted with someone I very much wanted to interview but didn't know how to find. Bert's in Las Vegas from Oklahoma City for just a short while visiting old friends, and I was lucky enough to have found him through Bill Schafer, president of the Southern Nevada Gay and Lesbian Historical Society. I want to thank you, Bert, for donating these two hours of your vacation time to me so I can preserve your stories for the gay community.

Date ~ 1978 (year approximate)

Description ~ From the Historic Building Survey Photograph Collection (PH-00345). Red Barn, 1320 East Tropicana, Las Vegas, Nevada.
