Default Hard to believe it was nineteen years ago today...

Hard to believe it was nineteen years ago today that I was on the Diamond Lady as we prepared for our first public cruise. The Diamond Lady and President both officially started their casino careers that day.

Vanna White (from Wheel of Fortune) was a special guest along with one of the stars of "Dallas", I can never remember his name, on that first cruise. We were a little behind schedule and they had to get off early to catch a plane. We made a special stop at Onieda street in Davenport so they could get off the boat and I got to hold Vanna's hand. That was memorable for me.

Things sure have changed since then, and not for the better, but those were good times.
