Saturday December 20 , 2014 On This Day In The Life Of Elvis (photo info at the end of post) December 20, 1957 Elvis picked up his draft notice and went to Sun Records. In the evening Elvis left for Nashville to deliver the Colonels Christmas present in person: a red Isetta sports car. December 20, 1958 Elvis returned to Bad Nauheim at the conclusion of maneuvers. Elisabeth Stefaniak had promised him to come over and work for him as his secretary to help him with the enormous amount of fan mail the Colonel had sent to Germany. December 20, 1961 Principal photography on Kid Galahad was completed. December 20, 1962 Elvis had given Priscilla some pills to help her sleep on her first night. However, she never woke for 2 days. The rest of her vacation was spent seeing the places where Elvis grew up, including attending movies at the Memphian and dining out at Chenaults Drive-In. December 20, 1966 Elvis bought 2 horses. One was his Christmas gift to Priscilla. The other was for Jerry Schillings fiancée, Sandy Kawelo, so that Priscilla had somebody to ride with. December 20, 1967 Elvis bought the Colonel a 18 karat gold Accutron calendar wristwatch for $595 and a second one for Tom Diskin. Elvis purchased a new grand piano for Graceland as well today. December 20, 1968 Elvis flew home to Memphis and arrived early in the morning. In the evening he went to the movies, like he would do almost every night while he was in Memphis. December 20, 1970 Elvis arrived in Los Angeles at 2:17 a.m. and saw a doctor about a rash he had developed on his face and neck. Most likely caused by an allergic reaction to the medication he was taking for an eye infection, but aggravated by the chocolate he ate on the plane. In the afternoon he explained to Jerry that he wanted to return to Washington. Jerry protested because he had to be back in California for work. Elvis then allowed him to call Sonny West and have him meet them in Washington. He gave Sonny permission to tell Vernon and Priscilla he was safe, but not where he was. On the plane Elvis wrote a letter to President Nixon offering his services in the governments effort to combat illicit drug use. PHOTO : After picking up his draft notice December 20 , 1957 Sharyn xx
