Where were you when.....................
.........you heard Elvis Presley died?
34 years ago today, we lost the King of Rock and Roll. 
I was 14 years old and at my friends house. We had been riding horses all day and took a break for lunch. His mom came in and told me because she knew how much I loved him. I cried all the way home and for days after. It was truly my very first broken heart.

Re: Where were you when.....................
I was two years old.
My 2nd cousin owns the wart that was removed from the left wrist of The King. There is a group that has tried to give her a very large amount of $$$ for it so they can try to clone Elvis. She keeps it on display in her Elvis museum.
She also displays a toenail she found while rooting through the carpet of the Jungle Room.
The boarding house was where my grandfather grew up.

Re: Where were you when.....................
I was in Grafenwoehr Germany in the middle of tank gunnery sitting on top of my tank with several army buddies listening to armed forces radio when the news broke. It was a shock, it was a little hard to believe.
