“The meeting with Elvis was wonderful , Elvis was so nice and kind. I can’t really find the words, he was so friendly. He is also very handsome, and it made me wonder about his age, his face was so young, no pictures seemed to show his real beauty. I gave him the gift, and he signs for me his last single record. I asked him “what’s the most important thing to you in life?” Elvis said to me “in my life?” I answered “yes” and without and hesitation, very seriously he answered “singing”. My sister and I kissed him and we had a photograph taken” – Chautal Dambremout
