Truly amazing, we were graced with Elvis. Elvis Presley came into my life through Ed Sullivan. The Sunday evening custom in our home was chocolate cupcakes with white icing while we watched Ed Sullivan.

My older brothers and I could not sit still on the old wood floor - while my mother and father wondered what was happening.
