Oh my gosh, I remember being on vacation at my father's in Florida the day he died. Wow, doesn't seem like that long ago.

My brothers and I were in the living room talking and listening tot he radio when they said Elvis passed on. Our oldest brother was sound asleep after working the graveyard shift, woke up and said "who cares" and went right back to alseep. I mentioned this to him later, when he acted all shocked when they said on the news Elvis died. He denies ever saying it....lol

I was 26 and had two washtubs full of green beans to can and it was very hot. Had to stop and cry for a hour. I loved him and his music. Hated the way his life ended, so sad.

I was at work, and pregnant with oldest son...the entire office went silent when it was announced on the radio...
I really cherish that I was able to see him in concert twice.
