Posted by Captain Tim Burke on August 14, 2006 at 21:08:09: This is a very special post to all divers. And a very special thank you, to you. As I have posted in the past, the greatest thing about running the GE is the people that I get to meet. I have met thousands of divers, a few movie stars, and few interesting people. Last week I had the opportunity to meet with Joe Esposito. Many of you do not know who he is, and many of you do. He was Elvis Presley’s personal bodyguard, best friend, and best man at his wedding. As many of you know, I am, an avid fan of the “King”. Getting to meet Joe was very special to me. And gets back to being able to meet people like him and you. He told me that one of the greatest things about knowing Elvis was getting to meet people like me and I told him, one of the best things about my business was meeting people like him. We had a very nice lunch together and I got to dispel several rumors about the “King”. And Joe was a very gracious host who paid for lunch. He is now the Casino Host at the Wynn’s Hotel in Vegas. If you get chance to check in and say hello, he would be delighted. Thank you, thank you very much, Captain Tim Burke
