Dear Wanda,

I really appreciate your positioning in all this matter. I'm glad Elvis still resonates in your ears with his positive words, which brings them into ours by extension.



I would miss your own opinion if you withdraw it too much. I don't have you for an official biographer. There are others that attend outer facts. I believe that what is important is that opinion and fact don't get too mixed up in a way that may generate confussion. It's a matter of signalling the difference between them. That's all.

Sweet Wanda no worries as we all have one of those days where we need to be silly so by all means go for it girl!! Besides, I'd give you at least $2.75!! Seriously, the special heart that you have brought forth and shared here with us at ELC, which has also been an extension of Elvis' own beautiful heart and soul is.......PRICELESS!!!! I also agree with what dear Amanda has said about appreciating not only your position and how you feel with what has happened with this situation, but also the beauty and sincerity of Elvis' words shared with you which resonate through to us. Regarding your position though, I would ask that you take a looksie at what I just posted in the Announcements/Chat Room Scheduling folder regarding this matter so you can see the feelings in my heart concerning what you have said about feeling like you ned to have more facts, details, etc....... Tried to copy/paste my post here for you but it didn't quite work.

Wanda:

I wrote to you in a PM but wish to add something here.

Please just keep on doing what you have. You have opened a beautiful world for me and others regarding Elvis.

I do not understand this picking apart of every little detail.

So many things can contribute to what was perceived, and I reiterate, perceived as lies.

For example, Elvis & Priscilla + Hawaii. Only they know the true story. Maybe they had an argument and didn't go and he didn't want to let on to you about this. Could be so many reasons. It is and was a private affair between married people.

I find it very upsetting that 31+ yrs. later there are people out there who are still causing him distress. And I use this in the present because I think he is seeing all of this. Sweet Wanda. Just keep on doing what you have been doing. We love you for it.

Wanda you have always been your True Loving Self, and thats want Elvis seen to. So just stay this WAY, and don't worry about being any DIFFERENT. Because of 2 BAD APPLES!:love:

I very gladly 2nd your feelings here dear Sue!! Right on sweet Di with everything you said above!!

II thought it might be okay to add this statement about Elvis taking Priscilla to Hawaii before their child was born-
It is in David Stanley's last book... he mentions that they went to Hawaii and other places. This information came from
one of our ELC members and it is posted on another topic but I don't recall where now. I was doubting his word myself, and I am glad to know that he was telling the truth. He wasn't one to tell lies about serious matters though he would often mislead people a bit if it made things easier for them or for what he wanted to do... those times were never done with malice or to be harmful. I have no memory of him ever out and out lying to save himself from anything- in fact he told the truth when I thought he should have lied his face off... Elvis had personal honor and he wore it well. wjh

Thanks for letting us know Wanda. I hope your detractors become aware of this. If they have any humility, they will apologize to or regarding you, but let's not hold our breath too long.

Well, like Elvis would say, sometimes a knock is as good as a plug, both get noticed. Everyone can judge for themselves, and not everyone thinks or reasons alike. Thank heaven! It gives me hope when people question and even when they doubt, at least I know there are people out there who don't buy everything being sold out there. They are the ones who keep things evening out- good stuff verses trash stuff. I was so gullible until knowing him-and then my eyes got opened up fast- and it made me so angry when he was misunderstood, trashed and ridiculed by so many people who didn't know him and then, later on, those who DID and they still didn't take the time to understand or care to understand him. So
detractors have a purpose, just like Elvis said.

It is always nice to know that somewhere out there some one will come up with facts that keep it simple, straight and let me know I wasn't wrong to believe what Elvis said, even though sometimes I knew he wasn't being totally upfront in what he might be saying he was doing...he had his reasons. I gave him that then and still do. wjh

Wanda did you ever tell Elvis that he was Misunderstood? Did Elvis ever say he thought he was Misunderstood?

I don't think I did in so many words, though he asked questions similar a few times, saying that he wished "some people" would be more interested in what he thought about things. I think he was speaking of his wife when he said that regarding his choice of reading material and how he wished and hoped she would become interested. He wanted to be able to share with her, but he didn't seem to ever manage to bring that about, instead just the opposite happened. She just wasn't ready to receive via him-nor were most of his friends and family members. His father did begin to understand better after Elvis' death...perhaps because Elvis was able to reach him more after death. Perhaps Vernon was "visited" and that changed his mind set? Don't think that anything ever was out about that possibility. I do know that Elvis in spiritual form, would want to help his father in any ways he could...
I thought often Fairytale that he was misunderstood by so many, however my own state of mind was very often one of anger and disbelief that those who were his friends and caring for him, looking after him, were not more attentive and didn't seem to notice what he needed from them was understanding and patience.
I kind of think that is pretty much the way many families are, too much happening and everyone too busy getting on with living to listen very much. Especially with today's vast expansion and abilities to reach around the world- it eats up a lot of time and most people don't have that much anyway. Yet it opens doors to every one, giving us all more people to share with. That's ELC's purpose...and it's a wonderful thing. We are here to share.

I know RainBowLight, it is like when Elvis did get the Chance to talk he was so Happy that someone actually wanted to hear what he had to say, that you could see him Light up. Shoot If I had the Chance to just Sit and Listen to Elvis, talk until he got everything he needed to say out would have been So Fantastic!
