Cathy it was the best thing in my life. I meet him all three times in vegas. The first time it was real short(said hello and got a handshake). The second time i was in the hotel and him and charlie hodge were walking out of a room. I walked over and talked with him about ten min and had some pixs taken. the last time was about five min. sad to say he was not very alert when we talked. very sad for me. Thank you for asking.

I am really glad to see Elvis up there and second on this list! Thought he would only be second after Jesus, though. I am also surprised that Jesus is not even on this list. What a shock this is considering 86% of the USA claim to be Christians.

Jesus is definitely number one on my list. Then the Apostles & Prophets, After them, then Elvis Presley & even John Wayne.

Devon, what years did you meet him? Also, any chance you could mail me one of those photos you took? I would be so much fun to see them! Heck, why not write a short little story about the three meetings, especially that last one, add a couple of your pictures, I'm sure Elvisnews.com would love to publish it.
