Below is a very well-done video regarding the 1978 Mike Joseph poolhouse door photo of Elvis. I like this version and have added comments myself in response to it on YouTube. I like that the creator of this video did invite viewers to share their opinions. I hope my visitors will find it interesting as well.

I was very surprised & happy, plus honored to read the words that Jesse wrote on the back of his autographed photo that is shown in the below video. Yes, I was friends with the gentleman in the below video for some years so this is an authentic autograph and written note by Jesse on the back of the photo. For some years, I was sending mail from this gentleman to Jesse.
I was also acquainted with Mrs. Pepper Ritter who is mentioned in this video and the info shared in this video about her is also true.
Ms. Hurd and I have had some contact on “X” but we are not well acquainted so I cannot endorse all of the material on her Internet locations. She has many YouTube videos…of which I have only viewed pieces of several. She has ventured into topics that I have not delved into deeply. I always try to follow things that I know about related to Jesse or topics that I know will be of interest to Jesse.
She has taken one action which I am opposed to and when I made her aware of my opposition to her actions, she said she would not use her enhanced version of the photo of Elvis with Benjamin which Jesse gave to me as a personal gift back in 1997. She used some sort of application to enhance the clarity of that photo which is something that I would NEVER have done as I feel that would be a betrayal of Jesse’s trust were I to do that to the photo. I NEVER gave that photo to a single soul until the Saturday afternoon when Jesse called and told me to give the photo to Dr. Hinton because he needed it for their book (The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley – In His Own Words). I was shocked at the request and I did ask Jesse if I could keep the original and send a very good quality copy for the book. Jesse permitted me to do that and I visited an office supply store to get several good copies to send. That is how the photo of Jesse and Benjamin first became public. The copy published in the book is black and white so I still felt honored that I had the original color copy that he gave to me…that I keep in a fireproof box. I did send the photo to Dr. Hinton in color…evidently, he gave color copies to several of the people with whom he became involved and evidently, they began showing the photo publicly. Then it aired in color on FOX 8 in Cleveland during several shows that were focused on the fact that Elvis is still alive.
I was concerned when Ms. Hurd attached her enhanced copy of the photo to a private message that she sent to me on “X“. I explained to her that all of my original material on my website is copyrighted as noted on every page of my two websites. She agreed to stop circulating the enhanced copy of the photo…but I do still see, on her YouTube channel, that she still includes her touched-up version. This only bothers me because Jesse gave that photo directly to me and he trusted me to protect it which I have always done. He wrote to me when he sent the photo to me that it was the only photo that he felt comfortable sharing of him without any disguise. As an aside, I do see that others have used the photo of Elvis and Benjamin in many places on the Internet…so my only concern about Ms. Hurd’s use of the photo is that she has changed the quality of the photo to make it very clear.
Ms. Hurd wrote that she is trying to help and be an ally to me. My thanks to her for all her efforts. HOWEVER, JESSE NOR I HAVE EVER AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR WORK IN ANY WAY.
Please watch and enjoy this very interesting video and take note of the autographed photo of Elvis and his handwritten note on the back. This was so sweet and I do thank Jesse so much for his kind words about my husband Tom and me.

I want to cover this topic once more because it seems that this rumor has taken on a life of its own. There is NO word of truth to the lies being propagated all over the Internet that Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis. I cannot phantom why anyone chooses to believe a lie when my two websites contain nothing but the truth that has come straight from Elvis Presley to me for the past 32 years and is shared with his approval.
Perhaps the two below items which I have shared before to little avail will sink into some more minds this time.
I wrote to Pastor Joyce way back in 2016 asking for his help in showing the truth to those who refuse to accept that he is NOT Elvis. He sent me the below response to my email and gave me permission to display and share it because he had tried to deter that rumor himself.

In the below video, you will see Pastor Bob Joyce emphatically state that he has never been anyone but Bob Joyce. He is making this statement in his church…not a place where he would be telling a lie.
As you will see and hear, this man does not have Elvis’ very recognizable hands nor does he have Elvis’ mannerisms or his speaking voice.
And NO he does not provide a cover for Elvis to perform, etc. I have seen these crazy stories circulated as well. Good grief!!! Get a grip on reality, people!

In this video, we watch a pretty emotional statement from Pastor BOB JOYCE talking about how he IS NOT ELVIS PRESLEY! We talk about how Bob Joyce is nearly 20 years younger than Elvis and how that alone should settle any confusion or rumors that this man is Elvis when he is CLEARLY not.

I HAVE GOOD NEWS TODAY!!!
I just hung up the phone from speaking with Jesse. I was so thankful to get his call. We did get to speak for a good bit. He sounded good and the phone was better so I could hear him more. He and I are in the same boat with going to the doctors, etc. He was telling me about enjoying feeding the birds and getting out for some time in the sun. He just is not able to pick up the phone and call who and when he wants to…but he said he would try to call me more often. His call certainly did make my day.
I have been intending to post a little bit about my current health situation because it affects the time that I spend working on the website. Last week I had 3 doctor visits which did take up much of my time. I am going to be doing physical therapy twice a week for the next couple of months so that is going to limit my time. But, I will post something when I can and I will ALWAYS post when I hear from Jesse just as I always have.
I am in pain to some degree every day…some days worse than others. So this affects all aspects of my life including my ability to do things on the Internet. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.

What a mess…
Auction Connected To Priscilla Presley Selling Fake Items?

In a shocking turn of events, an auction associated with Priscilla Presley faces accusations of selling fake merchandise. The allegations come from Graceland itself. According to the home of Elvis Presley’s memorabilia, some items auctioned off at this specific house are actually housed in Graceland.
Here is what the controversy is all about.
Graceland Accuses Auction House Of Inauthenticity
Graceland has made some pretty big accusations about GWS Auctions. This is a notable auction house that sells Elvis Presley memorabilia and is connected to Priscilla Presley. According to Graceland, some items GWS auctioned off are inauthentic because they are actually on display in Graceland.
Joel Weinshanker, managing partner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, spoke to NBC News about the situation. He said the auction house was selling one of Elvis’s old jackets. It is a black grommet jacket, a one-of-a-kind item worn by Elvis in 1972. There is one big problem here. The jacket is hanging up in Graceland’s private collection.
“We know there was only one made, and guess what? We have it in our archives,” Weinshanker said. He then showed NBC News both the black jacket and the receipt for its purchase that sits with the jacket in Graceland.
This isn’t just a one-time question of authenticity either. Weinshanker, who oversees the largest collection of Elvis memorabilia, said that GWA auctioned other items, including a private jet and several pieces of jewelry. Priscilla Presley offered a letter vouching for their authenticity.
Priscilla Presley In Battle With GWS Auction House
It seems strange that Priscilla Presley offered up the letter of authenticity for items that she didn’t possess. However, it turns out that Presley and GWS owner Brigitte Kruse have begun a battle of their own.

Kruce sued Presley last month for cutting her out of some lucrative business deals. This came after Krtuce helped Priscilla who was dealing with some financial problems. Priscilla filed a counter lawsuit, accusing Kruce of cheating her out of $1 million in a “financial elder abuse scheme.”
As for the items that GWS auctioned off that are still housed at Graceland, Kruce said she stands behind her Elvis items. This is even though the items are physically still at Graceland. She said she didn’t know why Weinshanker didn’t contact her directly about his concerns.
For his part, Weinshanker shared a text message exchange with Kruce, which shows he did reach out to her despite her claims he didn’t. According to NBC News, several people with ties to Elvis have passed off bogus items to auction houses.
What are your thoughts on the auction house selling what appears to be fake Elvis Presley memorabilia? What about the elder abuse claims that Priscilla has filed against them? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
