The 26th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's Death

Saturday August 16, 2003
My husband just happened to be in Memphis, Tenn. this week and witnessed the numerous Elvis impersonators and other fans converging on the city to commemorate the 26th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on August 16, 1977. Visitors to Memphis, the location of Elvis' home called Graceland, will be spending the entire week watching Elvis' movies, listening to his music, and attending a candlelight vigil at his gravesite.
