Tupelo Here We Come...

OK! It's official! We're going to Memphis via Tupelo! I made the room reservation today! Once we get to Tupelo we're meeting a couple of friends and driving to Tupelo to visit the birthplace of our favorite guy!! I haven't been there since the 80's so it's almost gonna be like my first time with all the changes that have occurred! I'm taking my Jerry Hopkins book (did this when I was 14). It tells of all the people and places to visit. The first time we went we looked up some people that knew Elvis as a kid - which made the trip really special! It was my mom, my grandmother and my 2 sisters. We met Gladys' best friend Faye Harris. She invited us in and we sat there and drank iced tea and she told us Elvis stories! She was a real sweetheart! Her and my grandmother hit it off and they corresponded by mail for several years! I'm not sure what happened to those letters but I sure would like to find one. I'll see if I can find her picture and get it posted here before I go to Memphis!
