I have a question for someone who might know? I went to kindergarten at First Presbyterian Church on Elvis Presley Blvd. (or was it Hwy 51 then?) in the late 1960’s, probably around 1967 or 1968. I have thought about it since, though I have not been back, so it’s been 40 years. My memory is that the church was adjacent to Graceland to the south. It seems to me that from our playground behind the church, you could see up the hill to the backyard of Graceland? Perhaps a member of First Presbyterian from back then might know if my memory is good, or have I maybe remembered something else? Kind regards…
Injoyed the movies this week on Elvis month..although I was not born in the Elvis error.
