      Yes! He literally would leave the grown ups and come and sit on the floor to play with us kids. He let us play hide and seek in his closet...It was that big! And there was always so much candy served in fancy crystal bowls.

    Thank you both for the truth. There are plenty of us good girls in Vegas. My mom told me about the contract her and Fritz were friends. My great uncle was Bernie's war buddy Ray Sanginiti. Great memories, Emilio was wonderful. Our money was no good. He asked where I wanted to sit, last time we seen Elvis. Mom's Name was Sandy Powers, stay beautiful and gracious. Thanks for sharing, it's a special relationship between a mother and daughter ❤

      It's cool how this works, learning my way around technology. Really don't like how the so called media portrays use locals now, nothing new. Let them talk, know we're doing something right as long as people are talking usually behind our backs 😂❤

    Thank you Rob, and the two gorgeous ladies in this interview. It is one of the best interviews relating to Elvis thaf I have seen on UA-cam. Great memories and photos. More historical data for us Elvis fans. I laughed so hard at Joanie's story about Elvis trying to come on to her; he didn't get knocked back by many girls😂. I bet when he met her again all those years later that he regretted letting her slip through his fingers. One very classy lady. Has she ever written a book about her life? It would be a fabulous record of those years.❤

      She would definitely have enough stories to write a book.

    Wow, amazing video. This brought back so many fond memories when I was just a little girl from Alaska. Joanie and Teri took me in when I was 13 and showed me a whole different side of a world I never knew existed.. Me and my Alaskan family are still in very close touch with The Shoofey family and still try to attend as many birthday parties as we can --- as they are always the party of the year. Thanks to Rob for a great, well done video. I still have a scar on my knee from waterskiing with Joanie and Teri, which I will always cherish, Next video, you can ask Joanie and Teri about their Alaskan hunting adventures with my family. Love you guys! Shirley Winther and your Alaskan Family

    Wow Unbelievable Video ! My Uncle was a Famous Gambler and friends with Kirk Kerkorian and I'm sure new Joni and her husband he owned a health club at the Sahara in the 60s and 70s he knew all of those people that were mentioned in this video and by the way we were lucky enough to see Elvis 3rd Dinner Show 1969 at the International !! A matter of fact the health club was not finished at the international and Kirk asked my uncle to send over his people to take care of Elvis !!

      Elvis got more women better than Priscilla! That point is he was looking a woman outside of the his ambient because he wants a normal family but Priscilla was too young and later she wants to live her own life. Elvis was too much for just one woman ❤😊
