DIGNITARIES, OFFICIALS, CHEERLEADERS, AND PLAIN ROOTERS AT
OPENING OF FOREST PARK ATHLETIC ASSN. BASEBALL
ELVIS PRESLEY
SECOND AND LAST PART OF 2 CHAPTERS
The children never rode in
the jeep anymore after Deb
bie’s first visit. They simply
showed Debbie a hidden spot
from which she could magically
open the gate herself. Debbie
has never told or shown anyone
where the exact spot is. ;
Elvis was absent from Grace
land much of the time. He di
vided his time between his •
California home and his Mem
phis place as he does yet. His
fans, including a lot of tour
ists, still flock to both places.
The McCollums first met Elvis
when he quite suddenly rode a
noisy motorcycle Into their
carport and right up to their
back door.
“Hello, ma’m,” he shouted and
flashed a big smile to every
one over all the noise, “Is
Ricky, David or Billy here?
Do you think they known where
my daddy IS?”
The McCollum girls and a lot
of other people, including El
vis, think Priscilla is “very
beautiful.” Her long black hair
(Which was full of lovely curls
when they first met her) and
blue eyes are noticable at first
glance. She is also "very quiet
when people are around her.”
Priscilla’s father was an Army
captain then but has since been
promoted. She had been In Ger
many with her parents when she
first met Elvis and dated him.
He was in the Army then. Elvis,
the millionaire, was doing his
part like other fellows his age.
Needless to say, Priscilla had
been waiting on Elvis and mar
riage to him for several years.
It was obvious to even thee Id
ren that she was in love with
him.
Debbie and Becky met Pris
cilla at the Vernon Presley
home. She must have been about
THE FOREST PARK NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1967
17 at the time. The little boys
had rustled over to tell the
family their parents were
“going to New York to meet
Priscilla and bring her home.”
They had been very excited over
it. Priscilla came to Memphis
for an extended visit.
Priscilla merged into the
background of the Presleyfam
: lly life. She even started at
tending PTA meetings with the
Vernon Presleys at the Grace
land Elementary school where
Dee’s three active boys went
to school. David, the youngest,
was a first or second grader
at the time.
One never sees anything In
print about Elvis’ little step
brothers. The movie fans know
all about Dee and Vernon but
it is a rare thing to read about
the complete family unit.
The children complained one
year about the heat at school.
It was understood either Elvis
or Vernon offered to air condi
tion the entire school but the
offer was not accepted. Rumor
was that the school felt it would
burden them with too large a
utility expense.
Apparently Elvis believes the
old adage that the best way to
make children good is to make
them happy. For a while Debbie
and her family lived In White
haven, he showered the three
boys with gifts they usually
shared with their playmates.
One cold winter week Debbie
whizzed down snow-covered
backyards on “flying saucers”
brought by Elvis. Most of the
neighborhood Joined them on the
hillsides with their own sleds.
Well known for his love of
cars, Elvis once gave his little
stepbrothers a mlnature bright
ly painted car. It had a motor
Inside and the children drove It
around the area. El saved the
adult-sized cars to give to his
leading ladlesl “Generosity
should be Elvis Presley’s mid
dle name,” according to the
McCollums.
Debbie, who is now a sixth
grader at Huie school, often
asked her playmates “If Elvis
and Priscilla were going to get
married?”
Dee Presley and Vernon Pres
ley are active and thoughtful
people. Mrs. McCollum feels
they are under a continuous
strain due to Elvis’ image and
the need for a normal life re
gardless.
A few times the children went
to school in a Rolls Royce com
plete with television, other
times they peddled bikes to
gether or walked. They even
had a few spats.
Once the three mischievous
little boys heard an ambulance
and found out Debbie’s only bro
ther Dennis had been in an auto
accident with friends. They
rushed home to tell Dee who
phoned the McCollums at a
downtown hospital.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN
In landscape design there are
certain underlying principles
that should be considered, ac
cording to T. G. Williams Jr.,
head of the Extension landscape
department. The ultimate effort
in garden design is to create
space that serves a useful pur
pose, and has unity and har
mony.
