Priscilla remembers that day: "I was looking and looking for him. Then he turned and waved at me." Peerce argued that with thousands of fans there, Elvis had to be waving at them. "Priscilla's perception is lovely and romantic," he says. "But, again, I had to work at the reality of it." Peerce won, but Priscilla isn't conceding the point. His interpretation, she says, was from a man's point of view. "It was the last goodbye," she explains. "As a young girl of 14, I was sure he was going to miss me."
