Authentic Elvis Presley Autograph

In 1955, my friends and I, at age 16, attended an Elvis Presley concert at Memorial Auditorium, in Raleigh, North Carolina. After the concert we went backstage, where he was signing autographs for a small crowd. He asked my three girlfriends and I to meet him by our car in the parking lot, which we did.

He was very nice and polite, and he invited us to have a steak with him at Swain's Charcoal Steakhouse. He told us he enjoyed dining and talking with new people. He also signed this photograph for me. We never went to dinner because it was a school night, my friend had to get her mother's car home, and we had a curfew.

I've had this original autographed photograph for 55 years.
