35. I have spent much time in Memphis, and one of my jobs involved Graceland

and conducting tours around the Memphis area attractions. The biggest draw was Elvis. That was shortly after Elvis passed.
This was many decades ago LOL, time passes quickly. I even named one of my dogs at the time after Elvis in 76.
I can't believe your short story brought back so many memories! Glad to hear from you nightwing1240. I have been around a long time too but just lately with all the nightmares of TFG and current challenges the democrats were working on I have started spending more time on this board. Thanks for sharing your story, I am so sorry for your loss.
