I recently visited Graceland in Memphis. [Many CO readers kindly responded to my request for things to do in Memphis and their favorite BBQ joints.]
Elvis was clearly a pack rat as the number of the King’s artifacts on display, both in his Graceland home, and its accompanying museum, is incomprehensible. Imagine my surprise when the first thing I saw upon entering the museum [first, not second, not third, first] was Elvis’s parents’ homeowner’s policy from 1947. Issued by Camden Fire Insurance Company, the policy covered their residence in Tupelo, Mississippi. Elvis was eleven years old when it was issued.
Thankfully, for the document’s sake, it was in a glass case, as I spent ten minutes drooling over it.
