He was admired not only as an entertainer,
But as the great humanitarian that he was;
For his generosity, and his kind feelings
For his fellow man.

OMG, I just found your site and love it. I have loved and adored Elvis since I was 9 years old. I live in Kenner, on the outskirts of New Orleans, so we're not too far from each other. I certainly hope to see more Elvis postings on your site. Please keep me in mind and advise when something new is being done. Would love to talk with you someday. My e-mail is: copwife12@cox.net
