#1

I had a passion for art, and I wanted to turn it into a career. I was always drawing and painting, and I admired my brother, Mike, a talented artist who had begun taking art classes in college. I had an inspirational art teacher named Mrs. Murphy who usually dressed in purple.

#2

I was always interested in singing, but was too self-conscious to sing in public. I made my family look the other way when I practiced and even asked them not to come to my recitals. I stopped voice lessons high school.

#3

I had been interested in art since I was young, and I began entering my paintings into local art competitions. I graduated in the spring of 1974 with scholarship money to put toward a college that fall. I chose the Memphis Academy of Art, a small private college of art and design.

#4

I was completely mesmerized by Elvis’s performance that summer night in 1976. His voice had grown deeper, and he looked a little heavier than in his earlier years, but I was still captivated by the way he strutted onto the stage dressed in a white jumpsuit with an Egyptian bird design.

In 1976, Terry went to represent Tennessee in the Miss America pageant. She was extremely gifted at piano, and won all three honors in the swimsuit, talent, and evening gown competitions. She was invited to Graceland by Elvis Presley, who was dating around.

We were excited and nervous to meet Elvis, and we were not disappointed. We were led up the stone stairs to the front porch, where George Klein greeted us. We did not expect him to answer the door, since this was Elvis’s house.

#3

I was excited to meet Elvis, but I was also nervous. I was unsure how I would be received. I was seated in the Jungle Room, which was far from your typical den. The furniture featured carved animal heads and engravings.

#4

I was surprised to discover that Graceland was so active late at night. I was especially nervous about meeting Elvis, because I knew he had a motto, TCB, which stood for taking care of business.

#5

When we arrived at Lisa’s house, Elvis was already there. He had been informed who we were, and he asked us about ourselves and our titles. He was very down-to-earth and funny.

#6

Elvis was very polite and easy to talk with. He had me at ease until he tilted his head to one side and said, You’re burning a hole right through me. I didn’t know what he meant, but I felt uncomfortable.

#7

When I was with Elvis, I was surprised by how much he seemed to care about me rather than his sisters. I was also shocked by the way he seemed to be hitting on me.

#8

I met Elvis Presley, a superstar, at a book store. He was a numbe r four, which meant he was sensitive and loyal to his friends. He explained that fours are usually misunderstood and feel lonely, but they are very loyal.

#9

I was invited to spend the night at Elvis’s house, and while I was reading to him, he asked me for my phone number. I was stunned, but excited. I thought about the kiss I had received when I left, and wondered if Elvis had liked it.

#10

I was in turmoil after the night with Elvis. I was afraid of being attracted to him because of it, but I was also afraid that I would feel let down if he didn’t call me again.

I had always admired Elvis’s voice, which was so uniquely his. He had known how to reach inside me and touch my soul with his voice. Now, as Elvis sang to me, I felt calmed by the same peaceful, comforting feeling I’d had when listening to his gospel albums.
