LITTLE
KNOWN FACTS - Another Elvis biography has surfaced. The Boy Who Would Be
King by Earl Greenwood. The author claims to be second cousin to Elvis.
Nothing could be further from the truth! Vester Presley, Elvis' 84
year-old uncle who worked at Graceland, adamantly refutes that he had a
sister called, Dixie who Greenwood claims was his grandmother. According
to Greenwood, Dixie was Vester and Vernon (Elvis' father) sister who
contacted syphilis and died in a mental hospital, never to be spoken of
again. "This Greenwood is in no way related to me or Elvis... He
ain't got no Presley blood in him, that's for sure," says Vester.
