Where were you when Elvis died?

I bet a few of you guys/gals know exactly where you were on that day?
If in fact he did die.

 

I was in Garland,Tx working at a building supply company and came into the office from the yard, and our secretary was crying her eyes out and asked her why.........Elvis

 

I thought some of you guys would jump on this like a duck on a June bug.
For me, I was at the 1977 Grand American.Now I really feel old and a bit lonely...anybody else there? Maybe it's a memory thing.

 

Is he dead? I keep hearing rumors he's still kickin'? I actually worked for him as security at the Hilton in 72-73 when I attended UNLV. The Hilton hired Football players as extra security when he was performing. What a blast. We were invited up to his 30th-floor suite on our nights off and at the end of his engagement for a party. He was a good guy. Met a bunch of entertainers and ladies of course...LOL

 

I was in the restroom listening to Elvis on the radio, figured there was no way he could be dead ... Having a sing along ...
WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

Thank You! Thank You Very Much!

 

I'm guessing you and him were thinking pretty much the same thing about being in a restroom?

 

Driving out to the Grand with a friend of mine !

 

I was living in Chicago at the time, driving home from work listening to Connie Szerszen, (The Top Rock Girly Jock), on WIND 550 AM, when she announced it.

 

Boy I can tell you exactly where I was. At the Grand, watching my dad Bob Nester, break 98 in the Oho Handicap and tie for tops with 2 other shooters, Ralph Norman and Charles Hartwig. Dad won the shoot off that evening in front of a large crowd after 3 rounds. New shells were compulsory, and after each 25, I had to run to the shell house and buy him another box, as he only took 1 box to the shoot off. When dad came off the third trap earlier in the day, a young trap boy was waiting to go load the house, and was listening to a transistor radio. He's the one that told us he just heard a special report that Elvis had died.

I also found a couple pictures that you might enjoy from that day, August 16, 1977.

 

Don't remember. Not all that important in the grand scheme of things.

 

Delivering him an 2 more TV's

 

Thank you for posting this!
That is exactly where I was except, your father beat me by two targets in the Ohio Handicap. I have a picture also of the ''Big Board'' with my 96...pushed me back from 24.5 to 26 yd line. Need to find that pic.

Broke it the worst way as far as options; 24, 24, 24, 24.

 

I was 17, riding in my father's brand new 77 T Bird, when news of the King's death came in over the radio. Ya, it's Lime Green, but still better than the silver Grenada I talked him out of..........lol.

 

Cool!

 

Elvis isn’t dead.

 

Elvis was the first to prove that a .38 Special revolver could turn ANY television into a remote control model.

 

The wife and I were not married then but were at a picnic. We were pretty young. He died in August didn’t he. I had a Pontiac LeMans back then. Wish I still had it. Hated to see him die but was not a big fan. That music doesn’t float my boat. Long live the king.

 

Alive!

Still am!

 

I think I was staying at the Heartbreak Hotel. I remember that the room service was terrible!
