Secretary Information
I'm not sure what year it was, I know it was when Elvis was just getting started w/Sun Studios, but my Aunt Dot as we called her (aka Dorothy King), was the secretary for Sun Studios at the time. She would tell us her favorite story of all...it was about this very handsome young man who was going to come in and record some songs. When they told him to take a break and have lunch, he realized he didn't have any money on him. It just so happened, that Aunt Dot was sitting at her desk when she heard this polite gentleman ask her if he could borrow $0.10 for a hamburger. Aunt Dot was the sweetest person ever, and of course gave Elvis a dime for his lunch...Elvis then replied, "Thank you, Ma'am, I promise to pay you back one day when I make it big" with his beautiful smile and Elvis nod. I just remember my Aunt being so expressive when she told us her memories of working at Sun Studios...she took pride in her work and the people she met along the way. This has been passed down to our family for years, and although Aunt Dot has been gone for many years now, I often remember her telling me stories of Elvis and so many other singers that passed by her desk. Now that I'm older, I wonder if this was the desk she sat at? I guess that we will never know. I hope you enjoy a little trip down memory lane...I just wish Aunt Dot was here to tell us more!
