Elvis at McKellar Lake 1960
Elvis rocks McKellar lake: Elvis Presley and several friends took a spin around McKellar Lake in his new boat on Friday, July 8, 1960. He purchased the 16-foot powder blue speedboat the night before. Elvis said he became interested in boating while in California. Asked if he planned to ski, he said: ''Not today. Don't want to make an idiot of myself.''

I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was against the law to fill the lake with light bulbs then shoot them. Lamar will clean it up, sir. Where is his fat ass?BigredG wrote:Caption - "Rules and regulations? Do you know who I am?"

WOW! Thanks Terry!
I saw Elvis live in concert the year before he died. Even then, he was bigger than life, and had amazing charisma. Haven't seen anything like it since, ....until Adam.........Nocturnal 2010

When I was a child I was a dreamer,
I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book
And I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie
So every dream I´ve ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.

wasn't that the day Vernon was wedding Dee
It's hard NOT to imagine Elvis as perfect; how else could someone be THAT good looking, THAT talented, THAT generous & THAT charismatic

Re: Elvis at McKellar Lake 1960
Thanks. It's been over 5 months and we still miss her every day.Peter1970 wrote:Wow, what a story! Sorry to hear about McKellar
Often, when we looked at McKellar, we thought about Memphis, Elvis, Sun Studios, and all the rest. She was a kind, fun-loving animal, part chow (note her black tongue) and part shepherd -- we were convinced she was related to Get-Lo, the chow chow Elvis owned in 1975.

Re: Elvis at McKellar Lake 1960
Wow, Doc. That is a wonderful story, and I am very sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is tough. I lost my dog in 1999, and I still think of her often, too.

Re: Elvis at McKellar Lake 1960
Thank you Peter1970, jak and KHoots for the kind words.
He and Charlie and the boat are down by the waterline, but you have them placed with their backs to the lake and far from the water, near the grass as you enter the lot. I know, I've been there.
Peter1970, I just noticed that you misplaced the 1960 Elvis image in the contemporary photo.
