Where were you & how old?

[IluvLucy]

I was 14 and at the neighbor's. I don't remember anyone crying but I know my friend was really bummed because he was a huge Elvis fan.

I was 25 and DH and I were just going into a bathroom store to pick out a new toilet and bath etc when we heard the news on the radio in the parking lot. OMG I couldn't believe my ears. I love and will always love the KING.

I wasn't even a twinkle in my parents' eyes!

My mom was 14, so I wasn't even a thought at that point.

I was 25 yrs old and cried like a baby. I loved the king. His voice was so beautiful.

I was 9 and both my father and I were upset. We visited Graceland but the house wasn't open yet. Now I take my father to the Collingwood Elvis Festival (the world's largest one) every year.

I was 7 and I can remember my mom coming home and she looked like she had been crying. She said Elvis had died. It was very quiet around the house for a few days except for the tv coverage that she watched constantly. Long live the KING!

I was 9 months old. I too wish that I could have seen the King.
