Keep Singing, Tab! I’ve just heard Tab Hunter’s latest recording and a few other of his hits. I really think he can sing. If he keeps on making records like the ones I heard, I feel he’ll really become a successful recording star. I’ve seen him in quite a few movies, but I’d rather hear him sing. I certainly hope he keeps on making records. Sandra Fauchn Herrin, Illinois How We Maneuvered To Meet Elvis! Would you like to hear about how I managed to see Elvis Presley? It happened like this : We heard that he was going to pass through our town, and sent him a wire begging him to drive slowly through Calvert on his way to Houston. When we drove into Calvert that night, we were told that Elvis was about ten minutes ahead of us, and that we could go as fast as we wanted to — hut we were cautioned to he extremely careful. After being stopped by a few red lights, my friend. Jolly, who was driving, really took off, and we came upon Elvis and his Cadillac. Jolly honked and honked until Elvis, who was sitting in the back seat, turned around and looked back. I was the first one out of the car, ran over to Elvis’ car, and stuck my head in the window. Our conversation ran something like this: Me: “Elvis?” Elvis: “Huh?” Me: “Will you get out and let me take a picture of you?” Elvis: “I’m too tired to get out. Sweetie. Can’t you take it while I’m in here?” Me: “Can you roll down the wind — ” Suddenly, Elvis flung the door open, and I jumped back. I was trembling so when I took the picture I was sure it wouldn’t take. Elvis: “Please hurry, Baby, I gotta get to Houston.” My friend, Jolly: “Can we have your autograph?” Elvis: “Yeah, got some paper?” Jolly: “Here, write a whole bunch, please.” Me: “Thanks for stopping; good luck in Houston, Elvis.” Elvis: “Thanks, lion. Now we’ve gotta go.” My friend, Jolly: “I got it, I got it, I got it — I got Elvis Presley’s autograph.” Pat Fulton Calvert, Texas continued on page 32 w„h JAY C.
