iRemembering Elvis

I have never been to Graceland, nor do I have any particular desire to go there, but today is the 40th anniersary of Elvis' death and I have been thinking about him since I heard that mentioned on the news this morning.  He would be 82 if he was still alive. That's unpleasant to contemplate; Elvis as an old man? I don't think so. I prefer to remember him as he was when I was 12 and he was young and so handsome.  I remember my cousin and I having long conversations about him and pouriug over her fan magazines for details of his life. His was the only picture I had on my bedroom wall as a teen. When he came to Fort Wayne in 1957, my uncle took my cousin and me to his concert. I really don't remember many details except that we were seated fairly close to the stage and, as he sang, I was sure he was looking straight at me. Sweet memories.
