He added: " I was The guy in control, The Owner - The Host of The Party . It was my duty, my job, to make sure everyone had a Good Time . It was a responsibility, a heady feeling, one that I gave myself over to wholeheartedly. It was an exclusive world where anything could happen. "

Mr Fitzgerald added that while they ran The Century Club , he and Mr Fleischman " worked really well together for a long time and had a lot of fun together".

" He would be able to have fun but be really smart at The same time, and be really intelligent about figuring things out. He taught me a lot. He was a great mentor for me. "
