That's a real "hommage" for Elvis! He would have had his 75th birthday. Last year I visited the museum at Friedberg (Hesse, Germany) where he was stationed with the US Army. They had Elvis' letters and lots of photographs, original records etc. there. Quite amazing! Thanky you Marty for your comments....Gert
