Lucky girl Judy Cherry's story of meeting Elvis on February 18th 1970 ..
The first thing I said when he came out was just a whispered "Elvis!" He put his arms around me and gave me a nice warm hug. I told him I had waited 14 years for this and he said "Have you? That's a long time to wait, isn't it honey?" then gave Jamie (the girl with me) a nice hug and said, "Did you come all the way from England" She said, "Yes" He said, "Thank you hon".
I said, "Elvis, do you have time for a couple of pictures?" His answer was a warm, "Sure." So while Jamie was getting my camera out, I showed him a copy of the Elvis Presley Story, that I had brought with me, and told him I had had it since 1957. He seemed genuinely amazed. He came across this one real old picture an
In between these dribbles of conversation we had taken one picture (shown above), had some trouble with the flashcube and now were taking another picture... then (and isn't this beautifully typical of Elvis?) he turned to Jamie and said, "Now we are gonna get one with you, aren't we honey?" I got the picture, he said goodbye to Jamie and came over and gave me a hug.
I said, "Goodbye, Elvis, I'll see you tomorrow night... whether you see me or not: cause I'll be going to the show every night for the rest of the time." He seemed really surprised at this and said "Eleven times! Thank you so much, sweetheart. I just wish I could meet everyone of you!" He kissed me goodbye and he was gone but the 5 or 6 minutes will stay in my heart forever.
