Chuck,

        Dave has been my trusted First Officer, bowman and crew boss for many 
many years. I can talk to him about coming down to Atlantic City to race on 
your boat, but, for starters, I think he'll need suite accommodations at the 
Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa and $200 in casino chips for each race. 

        And don't forget about my finder's fee. 

        
        All the best,

        Edd
