"We played for an hour!"- Connie Morgan
Over the weekend, a very unique version of the board game Monopoly took place here in Owensboro. It was so different it took place underwater. Though 2025 marked the first time in over a decade that players suited up for it, the game's a tradition that has been in place at the Blue Meridian Dive Center for years.
Susie Oliver, who owns Blue Meridian, created this 'gaming' event to pay tribute to her dad, Carl. Carl was a dive for the Corp of Engineers and introduced Susie to diving at a very early age. Obviously, his passion trickled down to her. Carl was a very charitable man. Among his favorite nonprofits was St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. To honor his legacy of giving, Susie created the Carl H. Oliver SCUBA for Charity Found
