Cool! It's nice to hear stories from people who were actually there. These kind of anecdotes give you the feel of what it was like to see Elvis in the prime of his life, when all was cool. Thanks for posting, rocker.

Nice find! First-person anecdotes from 57 years ago are getting pretty rare.

The photos are pretty cool, too.

Thanks, James. I removed the pic.

Can't recall where I found it, but they obviously got it wrong.

It's a great photo, though !
