Before joining Elbow Beach in the late 1950s as a night man and relief switchboard operator, Mr. Hunt was employed at the former Harmony Club, and he later began as a bell captain in 1968.

Premier Dunkley took the opportunity at the event to thank Mr. Hunt for his dedicated service and for being a “true tourism ambassador for Bermuda.”
