Phyllis by Heather McCrae When Elvis Presley died in August 1977, people around the world mqurned his demise. But, thanks to countless fans of The King, his music continues to live today. One of those fans is Phyllis DeLine of Oshawa. In an interview last week, Phyllis told the Citizen she was a young mother raising a family in the mid-fifties when she saw Elvis for the first time on the Ed Sullivan Show. And, like millions across the nation, was infatuated with the sexy, charismatic singer and his gentle, soothing voice. Harbouring a secret love for Elvis since that time, it wasn't until 1991 when she became openly intrigued with the deceased King of Rock n' Roll. Phyllis: and her husband, George, were in Memphis that year visiting Elvis' home, Graceland. Infatuated by what she saw and learned about the star, she bought the book "The Last 24 Hours" by Albert Goldman, a biography of the singer's last living hours. Phyllis told the Citizen she was disgusted how the author defamed the singer. Prompted to read more about Elvis, she's now acquired over 120 books on the singer and also possesses every movie he ever made.

For 8 years Bob McVay had been impersonating Elvis and is 80 good at it, when you close your eyes, you'd swear it was Elvis singing, Phyllis said. A year and a half ago, Bob and his wife, Bev, spent a weekend with the DeLines. After stringing the back yard gazebo with numerous lights, Phyllis persuaded Bob to sing some Elvis songs for the family. "Well, it wasn't long before we had all the neighbours looking Phyllis DeLine, an avid collector of Elvis memorabilia, Is hosting an "Elvis" night-at the Oshawa Little Theatre this weekend. See story. A $29.38 Value! For only $15.00 plus taxes over the fences" she laughed. "His voice carried over the subdivision and soon we had 40 . people in our backyard". Since then Phyllis ahd George have acted as Bob's producer and director at several "Elvis" shows held at the Oshawa Little Theatre. With the assistance of their entire family, including the grandchildren, they're hosting two concerts this weekend. "Bob gives a grand performance every time he's here" Phyllis said, adding his performances always sell out quickly. "Thirteen fans are coming up from Indiana for both shows" she said. Bob, a GM worker at the car plant in Marion, Indiana, loves coming to the Motor City. Accompanied by his back-up band, "Popular Demand" he does return by popular demand. Also present on Friday night only is Bernie Jessome of Courtice, a Roy Orbison impersonator. A devoted member of several Elvis Presley fan clubs, Phyllis says she remembers how crushed she felt when word spread the King had died. "Yes, he's dead" she said, adding she thinks it's ridiculous when reports say there have been sightings of the singer. It's like going on a tour down "memory lane" when you walk through Phyllis' home. Every room in her house, from the kitchen, through the bathroom to the bedrooms holds memories of the King. . While she also enjoys knitting, 4nd several crafts, Phyllis plans * to continue collecting Elvis memorabilia. "I shall keep his memory alive" she said.
