Talk:Judy Spreckels

Notability?
Is this person notable on her own, other than being a friend of Presley's? Joyous! | Talk 00:29, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, she is notable on her own, as she is a writer and trial historian. She also published and edited Horses magazine. I have added some more details to the article. Onefortyone 00:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Colonel Parker's letter
Here is the complete text of a personal letter from Colonel Parker to his secretary (8/25/58). In 1958, with Elvis Presley serving in the U.S. Army and Colonel Tom Parker conducting business from his management office in Madison, Tennessee, Trude Forsher, Elvis and Parker's personal secretary, took care of business at their offices on the west coast. In this 1958 letter to Mrs. Forsher, Col. Parker catches up with news after a difficult month in which Elvis' beloved mother, Gladys, passed away. It reads:
