Dear Friends:
Hope 2004 is treating everyone well!
January was an exciting month. We traveled down to Memories Theater in
Pigeon Forge, TN, for the 1st Annual EEN Memories ETA contest. Pigeon
Forge is beautiful and the drive down was lovely too. Before the contest,
we spent a day in Gatlinburg seeing the sights. It's like a mini Branson -
just great!
Memories Theater is wonderful and our large (37 entries) contest went
well. The staff at the theater was helpful and very nice. Congratulations
to winners:
1st - Matt King
2nd - Dwight Icenhower
3rd - Johnny Loos
Thanks to Lou Vuto for the fun time we had at his new Reflections Theater
on Sunday night after the contest.
One week later we traveled down to New Orleans for a short vacation before
our annual ElvisŪ Cruise. After 2 days of sightseeing, we boarded the
Carnival Cruiseship Holiday for our own holiday to Mexico. The first night
out was rough - but - the next morning was sunny and warm. Our visits to
Playa del Carmen and Cozumel were fun-filled and exciting.
Irv Cass, Quentin Flagg,
Robert Washington, and Lou
Vuto put on some really spectacular shows and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed
them. it was 5 days of fun, sun, warm waters, yummy drinks (oh, yes!) and
fabulous friends.
Next year, our cruise will visit Jamaica and Grand Cayman - Join us!!!
March will bring the Toledo ElvisŪ Fest and International ETA Competition
with great hosts Bob and Michelle Rosencrantz. The dates are March 19th &
20th. Bob and Michelle have a star-studded celebrity guest list including
DJ Fontana, Ray Walker, Myrna Smith and Joe Esposito. ETA special guests
are Irv Cass and 2003 winner Dwight Icenhower and, of course, Robert
Rosencrantz. Check out the website for other details...
We are happy to announce that we are working with the Brantford ElvisŪ
Fling just southwest of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Last year my visit to Collingwood was my first time in Canada and I am so looking forward to
being there again. Mark your calendars for August 26th-29th and join us!
Happy Birthday to February babes Jack Smink,
George Wagner and
Walter Williams. Many happy,
happy returns!
From the snow-covered Chicagoland area to you and yours - Think Spring!
