Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Barbara Lea]

WANDA I HAVE NEVER HEARD IF ELVIS EVER TIP ANY OF THE GOLF CARTS OVER, FROM EITHER TURNING TO SHARP OR FROM JUST GOING TO FAST? BARB!

I don't know if anyone got hurt but some were dumped out a time or two and I heard stories about using the tractor as a "horse" complete with a saddle-that must have been a sight! And I know he was dangerous on a snowmobile-we knew people who saw him-he'd come out after dark of course, and they'd be buzzing all over the place -Right at this moment I can't recall the name of where they went-it was a place mostly people who could afford to go went??? Darn, I thought of it before I needed to spell it and now it's gone! A Senior moment!
Anyway it's a very popular ski resort in another state!Some of you will know it I'm sure...That's where he got a ticket for speeding while riding one. wjh

Do you mean Aspen, Colorado?

[Wanda June Hill]

How could I forget that! Right. He loved to go there...to play in the snow.

WANDA I ALSO READ SOMEWHERE THAT PRESIDENT GERALD FORDS DAUGHTER, COMPLAINED ABOUT ELVIS SNOWMOBILLING AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED THE POLICE ON ELVIS, AND THEN HE WAS ARRESTED. I ALSO REMEMBER ELVIS HAVING SOME VERY CHOICE WORDS ABOUT HER DOING THIS TO, DID ELVIS EVER METION IT BEING PRESIDENT FORDS DAUGHTER? BARB!

The tractor as a 'horse' huh? Must have made a great picture, yes I'm sure - as for the snowmobiles, had heard about all the fun Elvis and the crowd got up to in Aspen, there's some footage somewhere: believe it's on Joe Esposito's original Home Movies video?

I think that might be so, the deal was it was in the middle of the night, people were trying to sleep and this noise and carrying on was keeping them awake, the day people. Elvis being a night person- and I don't think she knew who it was-just a bunch of hooligans yelling and ripping around where they shouldn't have been riding most likely as out away from the "paths, etc;" it was dark and one needed to see or run into something dangerous in the dark...like a drop off or a snow covered pile of rocks etc;. Elvis was like a spoiled brat in that he had fun, regardless of where he was and who might be bothered... many times if he woke someone up he just included them in the fun and games and it was okay, but in that case, maybe not. He would probably have perferred if they had come and spoke to him about it or something, instead of having the police out to get him...
that would have been a sight-I would have liked seeing him handcuffed and hauled off-just to see his face and hear what he had to say about it! It would have been funny - but I doubt that would have happened, I think he just got a warning and maybe a fine and they might of made them park their snowmobiles. I don't recall now if they were even allowed to ride them after hours like that-but knowing Elvis, he would have thought that a perfect time! wjh

Yeah, wouldn't have put it past him! he did love to have 'fun' but not always at the best times for other people, but gotta love him really, don't we?!!!!

[Barbara Lea]

WHEWWW !!! I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVEN'T WHATED TO HEAR WHAT WOULD OF CAME OUT OF THAT BEAUTIFUL MOUTH IF ELVIS WAS EVER HANDCUFED AND ARRESTED, I'M SUPRISED WHEN THAT JERK AT THAT GAS STATION THAT TIME THAT GOT HIS HEAD KNOCKED THAT TIME BY ELVIS AND HAD TO COURT, I BET ELVIS HAD A FEW CHOICE WORDS ABOUT THAT! BARB!!

[Elvis'SweetSweetSpirit]

I would like to see that picture of the tractor as a horse!! Riding on the snowmobile would be very fun, he sure did love to have fun!!
