. One of the greatest days of my life was the day I saw Elvis, it was March, 1960 and he had just returned from the Army. He came to the gate and signed autographs. He was gorgeous. I had loved his music and now I had seen the man and all was well with the world. After that I was blessed to be able to be around Elvis for many years and that was my beginning. Of course, I was only 12 years old, so I had to depend on my father to take me to Graceland. During the period that Elvis was gone I became friends with his Uncle Travis and his Aunt Loraine Smith. They were great people and were so kind to a young girl crazy about Elvis. When I came to the gate that day Travis and Loraine were there and informed me that Elvis was coming to the gate and that I should stay. Loraine put me and my Mom in the car with her because it was so cold outside, but when Elvis came down we went outside the gate. There was a huge crowd. I couldn't believe how beautiful he was, like no other man I have ever seen or ever will. That was the beginning. |

Elvis came to Colorado for a couple of trips. One was for a vacation in
Vail the other was for the funeral of Denver policeman Ron Petrofesso's brother. When Elvis was in Denver on one of those trips he tried to buy a couple of homes in the Denver area. One of the homes was a japanese style mansion on the outskirts of Denver. It was located on the edge of the Pine Hurst Country Club golf cource and it had its own private nine hole golfcoarse. The deal fell through because the country club wouldn't let him erect a wall around the property. The news got out that Elvis was trying to buy the house and fans started to hang out at the front of the property and some started to steal rocks from the garden. The Rocky Mountain News finally had to run a story that Elvis doesn't live there! In 1987 they had tours through the house to raise money for charity. It was billed as the house Elvis almost bought. I went on the tour and the house would have been perfect for Elvis. It had peacocks roaming the property and the place was totally 70's, with avocado green and turquoise sinks and deep shag carpet. The master suite was decorated with black leather and red velvet wall paper and it had a slide right into the pool. Coincidentally, my dad installed all the phones in the house when it was built so I had seen and heard about this house all my life! Another house Elvis tried to buy is the famous "Sleeper" house. The futuristic house used in the Woody Allen movie "Sleeper". The house looks like a flying saucer. It was designed by Charles Deaton and you can see the house if you google his name. It sits above Mt. Vernon Canyon just west of Denver and can be seen from I-70. The house was never finished until just recently and has still never been lived in! It is for sale for around 10 million. Again, the deal fell through over Elvis wanting to build a wall around it. Coincidentally again, I wound up living on the mountain right next to it about 10 years ago and I look at it everyday! On the trip for the funeral, Elvis ate at Ron Petrofesso's family's italian restaurant. When we heard he ate there, we had to go eat there too. They let me sit in the same chair that Elvis sat in. The owner came over and talked to us and told us about the whole Elvis episode. He said that Elvis came in with his entouage and several police officers after hours. He ate this enormous sausage canoli (sausage, cheese and sauce wrapped in dough). After that he went into the kitchen and helped make a pizza. That devolved into a pizza flour fight! |

I was in Hawaii for many months in 1969 - unkown to us (my girlfriend and
I) Elvis flew into Hawaii and checked into the Ilikai hotel. One afternoon while we were sitting on the patio of the Ilikai hotel, the hotel elevator opened up onto the patio and out stepped Joe, Charlie, and a few friends. We knew what was about to follow and sure enough, out comes Elvis, he looked tanned and relaxed. To make a long story short he sat down at the table next to us - after a few moments he recognized us from LA, got up from his chair and came over for a few moments, then sent us drinks. It was great!! We left Hawaii shortly after that to attend his opening in Vegas . I'll tell you one thing - it sure made an impression on the two guys we were with to have Elvis Presley recognize you and call you by name!! Made our day.....heck ..... made our year!!!!!!!
