Elvis Lady Friend Dies

[Brad M]

That's very sad to hear. RIP Penny Banner !

[drjohncarpenter]

Penny Banner passed away at her home in Charlotte, North Carolina Monday, May 12th, at the age of 73. She was a "friend" of Elvis from 1956 to 1958. May she R.I.P. If you have never heard of her........run her name through google....she had quite a career!!..........uf

Interesting -- but not surprising.



And could this be Penny speaking to Tom Parker in July 1956?



Elvis was in Memphis until Sunday, July 8. Penny was clearly a wrestler Elvis could get behind.

She was still looking good just this past October ->

..

RIP, Penny.

That sure does look like a dude to me. Look at the face. It looks like Norman Bates from Psycho.

Very ironic statement ...

Sort of like YOU and Anna in the pic you posted elsewhere

The quote in your signature is one of the most interesting quotes from our man.

[PEP]

Interesting, she doesn't appear to be the type of woman Elvis would have dated.

Here's her recollection, when asked about Elvis in a interview.

http://www.warned.net/InterviewPennyBanner.html

Is it true that you met Elvis Presley?

YES, 1956 in St. Louis..again 4 more times. Last date was March 17th 1958 just before he went into the service.........

Good one Doc

Your tongue and cheek comment suggests she never met Elvis, another made up story in your opinion.

I take it ?

I wonder if she knew Randy Backman, Meatloaf or Tommy Steele?

Penny wrote of her first intimate tryst with Elvis.
Ever the gentleman....she said he went into the bathroom to "finish" what they had started.......uf

What ?

Run that by me again.

Does it mean what I think it does ?

Why ?

What? Why would he break up with her in the bathroom? better acoustics?

I reckon 'finish' means 'finish off' rather than 'break up' !

But it's the 'he went' and not 'they went' that bothers me !

You mean like in the Mortal Kombat video game? FINISH HIM!!

But it's the 'he went' and not 'they went' that bothers me !

maybe there wasn't enough room in the bathroom for two?

Safe sex!

[ColinB]

Hey Colin let me see if I can clear things up just a bit. When my friend received the very rough draft of Pennys book.....she talked about her "first encounter" with Elvis if you get my drift....but sort of left the whole thing "hanging".....if you will pardon the expression. My friend....a journalist....asked her if there was any "final conclusion" to that first meeting? She laughed and said that Elvis....ever the gentleman....."went into the bathroom to finish off what the rolling around had started"......I think Liverbobs is likely not far wrong.....the term "safe sex" might be applicable here.........uf

Ah, a sort of Walls Have Ears moment !

I'd have thought Elvis would have 'finished it off' in a different manner, but still......................

Dude what's your problem? This is the second time in just the last few days that you have personally attacked me with a reply to something that I said.

[drjohncarpenter]

Doc.....I believe the man you suggest might be Colonel Parker is in fact the late Stu Hart...Penny wrote of her first intimate tryst with Elvis. Ever the gentleman....she said he went into the bathroom to "finish" what they had started.......uf

Yes, indeed. Of course, the picture is labeled as such, but the resemblance is remarkable. Elvis' "careful" behavior with the deletable Ms. Banner may well have been typical.

Some may recall a story from the same period, which depcits Gladys banging on her son's locked bedroom door -- when he was sharing time with the lovely June Juanico -- and advising him in no uncertain terms to be sure to use a condom.

Good one Doc ... Your tongue and cheek comment suggests she never met Elvis, another made up story in your opinion. I take it ?

Oh no, her story sounds valid. My "get behind" comment was simply a hilarious "double entendre."

Came as quite a shock to young June....... they were only playing cards at the time..................
