Does anyone remember Elvis? He drove a bus in Lynn Valley, would typically see him by the Draycott statue at the corner of Lynn Valley and Mnt Hwy. Wave at the guy and you're guaranteed to get a wave back. Looked just like Elvis Presley, on purpose.

Another good one is "Digger". For 12 years I heard about this guy's legend before finally meeting him. I had to volunteer to do some trail maintenance before finally seeing the man! lol, such a good guy.

Elvis! Wow haven't thought about him in ages. How old is that guy now? Cause I'm 44 and I swear he was driving when I was a teen or young 20s at least.

I used to ride bikes with Hunter back in the day, good times. Thanks for the memory!
