EPE reported in December that Charlie Hodge, long-time staff member, band-mate and friend of Elvis, was doing very well following a heart attack. However, as the weeks went by, he started feeling ill and some tests were run. His physician recommended triple by-pass surgery. This procedure was performed on February 4. The surgery went well and Charlie is now at home recovering nicely. We send our love, prayers and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. If you would like to send Charlie a card or letter, we know he would appreciate it:
Charlie Hodge
