Re: Telegram from Elvis and the Colonel...
Roy,the question of when that telegram was sent is one that maybe Larry could answer. It does look like the date is there, but it's very hard to make out. For two men that shared a friendship for many years, it's hard to believe there are not any other photos of Jim and Elvis together. I can't remember where I read this, but Mary even said that her and Jim had Elvis as a guest at their house many times too. I have a CD of a radio show Jim did introducing his own recordings, and on it he says that he was talking with Elvis and Chet Atkins in the parking lot one day at Studio B. I believe he said it was in May of 1963. Unfortunately, they were the only three there, so a golden photo opportunity was lost forever.There are so many photos that exist of Elvis with people that were close to Jim, like Faron Young, Chet Atkins and Tom Perryman, but not with Jim himself. I could never understand this...
