    & 2 female fans meet Elvis in Vegas, courtesy of his father. Now if you tried to meet Elvis in the 1970's during the tours, it helped tremendously if you were a "cute female" (?: "What's your favorite type of girl, Elvis?" to which Elvis replied "Female, sir."). In 1972, the closest I ever got was meeting Vernon in lobby of the Airport Hilton in EL Paso (my best friend from high school & to this day, Buddy Sanders (EL Paso's own ETA) got front row seats to a `72 show. I rode a Greyhound from St. Louie for this rare opportunity. Before the show, & we were on the floor since we had front row (oh, by the way: "Burning Love" jumpsuit, ah HOOT-WAH!! see my fanzine #2, scan #12). We go to the concession stand for a drink & there stands J.D. Sumner (how could you miss him??!), also getting a liquid beverage. We get to gabbin' (as Elvis fans are wont to do & J.D. WAS an Elvis fan too), he says we should come out to the Airport Hilton after the show. Sounds good to us, so we go. Pandemonium in the lobby (the band is there, Esposito, etc.) & in walks Vernon Presley. Well we go running over to him & say "can we meet Elvis, can we meet Elvis??!" & Vernon says (& I SWEAR this is TRUE): "I'm just his father, boys, you've gotta talk to Joe." Well we knew what "Joe" (Esposito)  looked liked thanks to TTWII & "Elvis On Tour" movies, so we go to him & he feeds us a line (& I realize now that was his job), to call him the next day at 10 a.m. Well, you know the rest: turns out they were already aboard the Lisa Marie, heading for Dallas because Elvis had a MATINEE show that day! Can you believe he was doing 2 shows a day on many of those tours??! & that, kiddies, is as close as I ever got. Well, enuff cryin', on with the show:
