I knew a man from Memphis named Dick Gentry who told me that he went to high school with Elvis Presley. I don’t see his name in Elvis’ graduation class so I guess Dick Gentry must have been an underclassman or graduated sooner than Elvis. Do you have any confirmation about Dick Gentry or was he BS’ing me…?
