    If for some reason this link does not work, go to www.elvis2001.net and click on interviews and then to Nancy Rooks. I definately want to get her book.

    sha also seems to be forgotten by Priscilla and Lisa..

    She isn't the only one, is she?
    It's hard NOT to imagine Elvis as perfect; how else could someone be THAT good looking, THAT talented, THAT generous & THAT charismatic

    Thanks for posting that, it was very interesting. That's the first time I've ever heard that Nancy went up the stairs to see him before Joe and Charlie did.

    yes and it also is a different version that what Joe E. tells. As you can see, nobody gave elvis cpr because they knew it was too late. She said that Charlie started to at some point. This is why all the mystery surrounds his death. You can tell they aren't telling everything or atleast not the whole truth.

    Now Joe says he doesn't know why the rumor got started that he attempted CPR. No one could do CPR...rigor mortis had set in. I have always read that Charlie just slumped down the wall and began to cry. Wasn't it Joe that kept yelling at Ginger to get Lisa out of there?

    I heard Joe myself on one of his interviews say he started cpr. I have to find the DVD it's on. I think the Final Chapter or something....I'll let you know when I find it.

    I heard or read somewhere that they couldn't do CPR because of rigor mortise and because his teeth was clenched down on his tongue. I have to find where I got this information from.

    that is what I mean.....there are so many stories circulating, but Joe E. did say they started cpr as I saw him say it himself during an interview. I don't understand how he could say that when it was not actually done? Mystery to me.

    The author of that book came to my fan club meeting to speak about it.The money earned from the sales were going to the maids.They were just getting by on social security and not having a very easy time.He's a great guy and had some great stories.He also did the Lemay book.
