"Sit a little while longer child," she said. "There's something I'd like to tell you bout. There was somebody, I don't know who, that was makin calls here sayin that I was old and ugly and that I was embarrassin to Elvis, that I shouldn't be let to be seen in public. Well, when Elvis heard bout that he got real mad." ...Tears shone in the old lady's eyes as she went on. "You know what that boy went and did? He insisted on gettin out one of his fancy cars and drivin me all over town. Then he took me out and up and down through the whole town, all through Memphis, walking up and down the streets together with his arm around me, just to show em how he really felt." From "Don't Ask Forever" by Joyce Bova. This was a conversation that took place between Joyca and Minnie Mae aka "Dodger", Elvis' grandmother..Elvis loved his grandmother deeply and would never leave Graceland without paying a visit to her room. And anytime Elvis had a girlfriend, he would always bring her in and introduce her to Dodger.
