Important EW12 News
February 6th, 2012
It seems that our friend at EPE have received an email that includes a slightly fictitious guest list for our Elvis: In My Father’s House event during Elvis Week. They were right to be concerned as a couple of names are under contract to appear only at EPE events during EW12. We fully understand and respect the reasons as to why some folks are unable to join us, but it’s very odd how they have miraculously been added to our promotional material.
So unfortunately, both Sam Thompson and Dick Grob will not be attending (no matter what you read).
Here’s the confirmed guest list so far…
Billy Smith / Jo Smith / Marty Lacker / JoCathy Brownlee / Barbara Klein Bauer / Barbara Hearn Smith / Gene Barksdale / Kissy Nichopoulos / Elaine Nichopoulos
We have just sent formal invites to several fantastic Elvis connection, so we hope to be adding to this list soon. Watch this space!
