One of Elvis's prize possessions was this pink cadillac.

While attending college in Memphis, I had the great pleasure

of having my picture taken on this car on a private tour. It

will be posted as soon as it can be scanned.

Ironically, this year, I turned 42. A month prior to his death my

parents had attended a concert in Oklahoma City. They paid

$25 dollars for each ticket and 20 people squished in a booth

to hear him sing.

In 1977, I was 11 years old when Elvis died. We all remember

what we were doing on that day regardless of how old we were.

We remember the shock of hearing Breaking News, the King

of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley has died. It was heart breaking.

“Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers,

and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all

together, I guess.”

-Elvis in 1956, talking about his way of moving on stage.

Note: This was one of the first Mansions that I toured in 1987

while attending a private university. While designing our estate,

I remembered the statue four large columns and gable. It was

breath taking and captured my attention immediately. We

incorporated this on Side 4 of our house and the nice rounded

walk way to the main entrace on Side 1 including the large urns.

This house was magnificent to tour and is currently under major

renovation. It will re-open in 2008. It was built for a "King".
