My sister and I stayed in that house with her parents for a few weeks. The Connells were so nice and treated us like daughters.❤

Nice to see you Shirley it's been about 40 years robin jackson

[@thememphismafia83]

HI, if I understand correctly, Ronnie, you are actually Robin Jackson? Who used to know Shirley? If so, she asks, would you be so kind as to Facebook message her directly...she is in Facebook Messenger as Shirley Connell, and would love to hear from you. Thank you! :-)

I have a copy of Shirley’s book & recommend it highly. Easy to read & enjoy the stories. I’m grateful you interviewed her.

[@vickiecraig9578]

Wow we were all excited waiting on the ice-cream man to make it through the neighborhood and she had Elvis. Hats off to you Ms. Shirley. Hope your Elvis wk this yr. Would be a pleasure to meet you

[@MMAfighter38113]

Thanks for the interview and the upload, Sherri. I’ve always wondered what it was like to live at Elvis’ back fence. I’m sure there was a lack of privacy at times for Elvis & the family.

[@thememphismafia83]

the back fence was quite a distance from the back door of the house across the pasture, so there wasn't too much privacy disruption

Thanks Sherri for these great stories! Always enjoy hearing Shirley’s stories. Lucky lady! 🤩. What age was Shirley during these Elvis escapades? Keep TCB ⚡️🕺👑

[@thememphismafia83]

I believe she was a teenager, but I’ll ask about the exact age during this era.

[@LindaD68]

@@thememphismafia83 ~ Thanks! Just curious. She sure has some great memories!! 😊

[@thememphismafia83]

she met Elvis Nov 1960 at age 13.

[@LindaD68]

@@thememphismafia83 ~ Thank you Sheri! I didn’t mean for you to take time out of your busy schedule to reply to me so soon. But I really appreciate it! 😊 Shirley & I are same age. What a thrill for Shirley to be a young teen and know Elvis. And you living and growing up at Graceland. WOW!! Hilarious how she would climb the fence and just stroll over Graceland on a shortcut! LOL. I’d have probably done the same thing. 🙋‍♀️. Thank you so much for your videos! Give my best regards to Shirley! 🤗 Love hearing her stories & memories of Elvis and her escapades. Sounds like she’s a hoot! 😃. Keep up the great videos Sheri! Wish you great success!! 😊🤩 I loved your reply to someone who asked you “what would you say to Elvis if you could see him today?” Your reply, “Well hello there, my it’s been a long time!!” Touched my heart! ❤️😢 Keep TCB ⚡️🕺👑

[@jeffpowell5071]

Great job Sheri , really enjoyed hearing from Shirley !! -still waiting for my Garage Appointment picture at Graceland . 😁 I would actually like to know how many houses Elvis bought for his friends and family in that particular neighborhood - how many houses ?? And for Who ?? Thank u Sherri If u ever find that picture , I’m sure Ashley would want it .

[@thememphismafia83]

thanks for watching and yes I know re the picture. as I said, I don’t know of any from ‘back in the day”. I communicate with Ashley too. 😊

[@jeffpowell5071]

I know u do , that’s why I suggested to give it to her . Can’t wait for your next video . Could you please tell me how many houses Elvis bought around him ( in his neighborhood) and for who ? I know there was Linda T. & Sam T. Vernon - anyone else ? Keep up the great work Sherri !!! Take Care

[@michellevolkmann5675]

Hi, cool

[@pbmartinfencing]

Sherri can we get some more stories of your mom and dad? What did your dad do after Elvis died ?

[@kathysharpe7339]

Where are you girl? I hope you are doing well. Just give a SHOUT out.

[@florabraswell8423]

Thank you Sheryl what a happy life you lived right in Elvis’s backyard ! I would have liked to have joked around with Uncle Vester too ,l think Vernon had a little humor too but he seemed more serious about things, he was all business, thank you Sherri n Sheryl l may not be spelling your name correctly, sorry 😢 God Bless you both and take care .💁‍♀️💕🙏

[@christie5509]

I would love her book. Does she have any available?

[@bonnieikamas1201]

[@thememphismafia83]

Bonnie she is expecting a new batch in from the printer soon. After that you may write her email at [e-mail] to enquire about her book. :-)

[@carolrobinson2139]

How old was Shirley when she went to libertyland and the movies?

[@thememphismafia83]

Shirley went with Elvis to the Memphis Fairgrounds in the very early 60s, when she was 14 yrs old going on 15. it wasnt Libertyland until the 70s.
