Yes he was!

I have never been a big Elvis fan....more of a Beatles fan....but here's my Elvis story.
Back in the 70's when Elvis was touring he would do an engagement in Mobile, Al. One on the guys working at the hospital was a black belt in Karate and somehow became part of Elvis's security for these shows. He would pick up a bunch of Elvis's autographed pictures and hand them out to some of us at the hospital.....I kept that picture for many,many years and then one Christmas I had it framed and gave it to my niece who happens to be a huge Elvis fan.
