He Is A Very Nice Boy

I'm going through my husband's papers, keeping some and throwing away the rest. These papers also include some of Tom's mother's, including old letters. Today I read a letter he wrote her on March 9, 1958, during the spring of our senior year. I thought you would find one paragraph interesting:

"Met Elvis Presley and his mother, manager and other friends while I was in New Orleans - spent about 2 hours in their company. It was most interesting! He is a very nice boy from all I could tell. He neither smokes nor drinks for one thing. And he was very modest and exceptionally courteous to all. I visited with them in his hotel rooms - will tell you more when I next see you. Just thought you might be interested."

As I recall, Elvis was staying at The Roosevelt Hotel on Baronne Street, and Tom met him in front of the hotel. Elvis' mother cooked them fried chicken in the room. Apparently, when they were away from home, she usually cooked for him in the hotel room.
