Re: 1st August 1956, Wednesday
Bellman took Elvis Presley on his first deep-sea fishing trips, where The King snagged bonito, mackerel and sharks. On one trip, Bellman took an 8-mm movie camera, and his 17 minutes of color clips are now classics of the early Elvis years. Bellman’s rare film footage shows a 21-year-old Elvis who was already making movies and gold records but not yet insulated from the public.
“Elvis was a happy person then, very accommodating, very friendly, cooperative and very polite,” Bellman told the Sun Herald. “He was so happy to be out on that boat...His way of paying me back was to make an appearance at my shoe place.”
With his usual humor, Bellman added, “I don’t think anybody bought shoes that day and they really messed up the store.”

They stopped traffic and the police had to lock arms in front of the store to keep people pushing through the windows. Elvis stayed for almost an hour signing autographs.
In appreciation for Elvis time at the store, Eddie Bellman and his associates bought Elvis a 410-gauge Winchester pump-action shotgun. Eddie brought the gun to Elvis later that day, along with a handtrap and some skeet targets.

Re: 1st August 1956, Wednesday
I'm not sure about the first pic and just a few inches here and there in the others. I don't want to outdo anybody, I'm just wondering why these strange cropping are everywhere on the Net?

Just thought I'd mention that he's in Biloxi on this day !
The town isn't mentioned on this thread until the YouTube clip !
[On a technical note, I can't see the video using my usual Firefox browser, have to switch to Windows 10 Edge !]
