Well I guess that everyone has pretty much gotten in their 2 cents in over the decision that had to be made.
Until you wear my shoes and have the responsibility I do when running an organization such as one for Etas’ you have no idea of what it entails. So I will tell you.
In 2019 I found myself working with a man by the name of Larry Larcombe Sr. He started a new ETA hall of fame in 2017. My eta friend Sherman was inducted into this lil organization in 2019. I thanked Larry for putting Sherman in. From there it was a new awakening. I gave suggestions and then he brought me on board in late 2020 and I helped place many worthy ETAs in the organization. Many from the 90’s.
There are no monies involved, just recognition and certificate stating a job well done. If they accept great, and if they don’t, well so be it. It tells me we aren’t good enough to recognize their achievements. We have had a couple of I don’t need it’s. Cool 😎
To become one of our inductees a full background check has to be conducted as far as any felonies. Only the bad, in today’s society the list is much isn’t much different from the past. This doesn’t not mean if you were charged, but cleared. Your innocent.
Now an ongoing investigation while in the hall of fame and the federal government is involved such as the with a certain eta, it needs to be known we DO NOT CONDONE any of this. If by the Grace of God this all is just a big misunderstanding, we possibly can restate this individual. We know everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
With the FBI on this, everything and everyone he’s been afflicted with is gonna be mentioned in one way or another.
Including this organization, therefore giving us a bad reputation for sitting on our butts and allowing this person represent Elvis ETAs whose records are clear.
Hate me as you may will, but rules are set for a reason.
Ya all don’t know my dedication to keeping Elvis’ image alive.
You do the tributes with love and admiration, you are special.
I am a very tough on ETAs so I let our board members vote. I bring them to table, they are yeah or nay. No one would want me on a panel to judge in a contest. Judy sayin’.
So in closing I am putting in another investigator. My son Derek, he’s the one who came in and said mom you gotta make a decision now. This is gonna ruin the hall of fame. He showed me things he found and people are a talking.
I did sit on this for a hot minute,knowing what I had to do, but how?
This was a friend of mine, over 35 years. How could he ruin such a track record?
We are all entitled to mistakes. However this was a bad decision and not a mistake.
You know how to reach me if ya wanna bitch some more.
Til then TCB⚡️

TJ Greene Ticonderoga NY Obituary, Death; Elvis impersonator and Star Trek Tour Guide has died – Murder

TJ Greene Death – Elvis Tribute Artist and Star Trek Tour Guide TJ Greene Ticonderoga, New York has sadly passed away. He was found dead on Tuesday 9th April 2024 after days of going missing. According to information released, TJ was murdered and a suspect have been taken into custody. He was confirmed dead through a publication that says “I have some unfortunate news to share. Our friend TJ Greene had been found deceased & a suspect is in custody. I want to thank everyone who has been helping us find him and sharing the flyer. Please keep his family & wife Heidi Mae Greene in your prayers”.

The Saratoga County Sheriff's Office reported on Tuesday that Krider had been found dead in Milton, New York, after he was reported missing by his wife on Saturday morning, according to the Times Union.

On Tuesday, the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office said they had arrested 69-year-old Ronald Rayher, of Milton, on charges of second-degree manslaughter and tampering with physical evidence.

The sheriff's office said Rayher allegedly killed Krider at his home in Milton on April 5. They said Rayher also allegedly tampered with and suppressed evidence after the incident.

Krider's wife, Heidi Greene, told the Times Union that her husband had left their home on Friday to pick up a free box spring from someone in exchange for helping them move some furniture.

Greene said Krider was supposed to return home to work a shift as a tour guide at his job at Star Trek Tour that weekend, as well as to work for a special event during the solar eclipse, but wasn't heard from again.

He loved his job too much to ever miss a shift, Greene told the Times Union.

Greene told the Times Union that she and Krider were both Poultney residents who had met nearly 20 years ago while working at the Rutland, Vermont, Walmart. They moved to the Glens Falls area soon after, where Krider worked as a costumed character at Six Flags Great Escape.

James Cawley, of the Ticonderoga Star Trek Tour, released the following statement about Krider's death, saying in part:

"TJ Greene was an employee and tour guide at the Star Trek Set Tour and a great friend to everyone here. He was a talented Elvis tribute artist. He will be remembered for his kind and trusting soul and his warm, friendly demeanor. We are devastated by his loss and will keep him close to our hearts."

Rayher was arraigned in Milton Town Court and remanded to the Saratoga County.

This was brought to my attention yesterday that a very talented ETA was found after going missing for days. I needed to do some research before posting.
A senseless loss of life at another’s hand. Never trust anyone
I didn’t know him but I am sure many here did.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
If there are any updates please share with us.
