- I was employed by the FBI.
(calm instrumental music)
That was an interesting job.
Interesting job, and that's
about all I can say about that.
I went back home and
that's when I went to work
for The Commercial Appeal,
worked for 23 years for
The Commercial Appeal.
Our backdoor neighbor was Elvis Presley.
He was a very kind and
thoughtful neighbor.
I saw the assassination
of Martin Luther King.
I was on the second floor,
plate glass window all the way across.
We looked right into the
balcony of the Lorraine Hotel.
And that was a memory
that will never leave.
When I was working in Washington,
Eleanor Roosevelt used to
have a tea on Sunday afternoon
and I got meet President
Roosevelt, too, which was a thrill.
I met Gerald Ford.
Of course, I had met Nixon.
I always loved Frank Sinatra,
and I had the opportunity
to go and meet him and visit with him
and attend a function of his.
I enjoy life, period. (laughs)
