My good friend, BlueRose, shared the below photo of Benjamin and his sister, Riley.  We think this is a good comparison to the photo of Benjamin with his grandfather, Elvis, who is Jesse. 

My hug of thanks to BlueRose for sharing this rare photo for us all to enjoy.

I remind everyone that Benjamin was only 2 years old in the photo with Jesse.  He was probably around 4 in the photo with Riley.

I want to let everyone know that Jesse phoned me tonight.  We had a very good visit and he is doing well.  When he phoned me last week, he was getting ready to leave on a long trip and he told me he would call me when he got back home.  So he had been home about 3 hours when he called.  He was tired and said he was going to sleep for a good long while.  No one recognized him in the area to which he traveled…always a very good thing about anywhere he goes.  I always am concerned when he travels and this time was no different.  So, I am very happy and relieved that he is back home safely.

Jesse brought up a topic in our conversation tonight which he had not mentioned in many years. That is the topic of the reason that he chose to reinvent himself as Jesse going forward from August 16, 1977.  I believe that I have explained before that after Elvis and I had been in touch and were friends for some years, he explained to me during a phone conversation, which I recall distinctly, that Elvis had lived 42 years and that Jesse deserved to have 42 years also.  Tonight he brought that up again and said that in 4 more years Jesse will have had his 42 years.  He said “…then I’m on my own.”  I immediately told him that he shouldn’t be thinking that he is going to leave when he is 84 because that is just not acceptable and we won’t let that happen.  

While we are on this subject, I want to explain some things that backup Jesse’s logic, and his thinking the way he does now about living a normal life as Jesse.  Wanda June Hill has told me several things which she remembers about Elvis’ relationship with Jesse throughout his life. She said that she recalled Elvis telling her that when he was little, he would tell people at school that his name was Jesse.  But, more importantly, Elvis told Wanda how he sort of froze many times when it was time to step out onto the stage.   When this happened and he hesitated about taking that first step, then his father or one of the guys would give him a little nudge so he would step out.  Elvis told Wanda that sometimes, when he felt that he couldn’t go on, that it was Jesse who did the shows.  

When Elvis first explained to me about being Jesse and the reasons for it, he told me that he “…could always feel Jesse with me.“

Those who have done some reading and/or watched interviews regarding the “twinless twin” phenomenon will better understand Elvis’ feelings and his choice to give life to Jesse.  This is a matter of soul and spirit.  When Elvis explained it to me, he then asked if I thought that people would understand about him now being Jesse.  I had to think about it for a little bit and then I told him that I felt that people who were of a spiritual mind would understand.

A few times, I have encountered ignorant people who have made some negative remarks about the truth on my site that Elvis is Jesse now.  Some have said that it is something that Elvis would never do…take on the identity of his brother.  Some have acted as though it is not what Elvis would do because they feel that it is disrespectful to the memory of Jesse.  I want to be sure that everyone understands that Elvis chose to live this life for Jesse and that he made this decision with the deepest respect for his brother and it is done out of appreciation for Jesse’s abiding presence in his life when he went through so many hardships.  I hope this will help everyone to grasp the reason for his decision to live for 42 years as Jesse.  I feel so very honored and blessed to have been able to hear him explain this to me.

After explaining all of this to me the very first time, in a soft voice with a sigh, he said “...and I thought I could have a normal life.”  This is the quote which I asked Dr. Hinton to put near the front of Jesse’s book.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

My good friend, BlueRose, sent an Email to me today in which she included two photos of Elvis to be compared to the photo of Jesse.  I will insert these below as further photographic substantiation of the photo which Jesse gave to me in 1997.

Before inserting these photos, though, I want to cover a topic which keeps coming up as a question repeatedly.  The question is why are there no other photos of Elvis as Jesse…only the one which he gave me showing him with his grandson Benjamin which was taken when Benjamin was 2 years old in 1994?

First of all, I want everyone to understand that Jesse CHOSE to give that photo to me as a gift.  It was never initially intended to be put on public display, and had it remained in only my hands with NO copies ever made, no one would have seen that photo to this very day.  I treasured it and knew how very private and special it was that he had trusted me with it.  I kept it locked in a fireproof safe until the day that Jesse called me himself and told me to send a copy to Dr. Hinton for the book.  So, I took my copy to a Staples store and made the very best photo quality copies to send to Dr. Hinton.  I brought my copy from Jesse back home and locked it up again and continued to keep it private…that’s where it would still be if things had not gotten out of hand with the copies which I made for Dr. Hinton.  Since the photo was only published in black and white in the book, I felt that my color copy from Jesse with his handwriting on the back of it was still very private and protected.  But then, I was startled when I began seeing copies of it here and there on the Internet in color.  It became apparent that Dr. Hinton had been fairly indiscreet about giving other people copies of the photo in color.  That is the only reason that you see me using the photo on all of my pages…because it was already out there on the Internet. Since Jesse did write the letter to me and gave me the photo personally,  I felt that it was only right that I also display the photo along with documentation here on my web site.

Now, as to why the 1994 photo is the only one of Jesse since 1977, it is because he does NOT want anyone to know how he looks to the current day.  He does NOT want to be recognized…NOT EVER.  You must understand that the photo was only 3 years old when he gave it to me in 1997…so it was fairly current then.  That’s why I felt so strongly about guarding it so closely.  It was not until the book was published in 2001, that others saw that precious photo and then only in black and white in the book.   With the exception of the people to whom Hinton gave copies…then it was scattered to the wind.

Jesse has confirmed to me, over the phone, that it really is him sitting in the pool house door photo from New Years day 1978…just over 4 months after his departure date.  I have always known that it was really him and had to stop myself from getting too angry when I saw and heard the various lies that people were telling in interviews, etc. to cover up the fact that it really was him.  I have not always understood the WHY behind the lies as well as I have come to now.

The bottom line on anything to do with Jesse is always…protect, protect, protect.  And that is the foundation of my friendship with him and my loyalty to him always.  I will NEVER divulge anything that could cause him the least bit of a threat to his privacy, safety, and peace of mind.

Here are the two photos which BlueRose shared with me for comparison.  She wrote to me expressing her in-credulousness that there are still people who do not see that Jesse’s photo is Elvis.    I don’t understand it either…but I never tire of pointing it out time and time and time again.

My heartfelt thanks, as always, to BlueRose who makes time in her busy life to do things for us.

SENT TO JESSE THROUGH THIS POINT ON FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2015

FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2015

Today was an important date in Elvis’ life…the anniversary date of his very last stage performance as Elvis.  It is also the anniversary of the date on which his father, Mr. Vernon Presley, later died.  I also believe it is the anniversary of Col. Parker’s birth.  Lots of significance to June 26th.  I recall that Jesse wrote in one of his letters asking if someone knew the importance (my word cause I don’t remember Jesse’s) of June 26.  In honor of this date, I am sharing a video from YouTube which contains a large part of the Indianapolis show.  It is worth noting also that, based upon Numerology, it was a number 8 day.

 <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

SATURDAY 27, 2015

I was able to locate the note which Jesse wrote to Tom and me back in 2000 in which he told us to “…ask the Dr. (Hinton) if the date June 26 means to him.”  I mentioned about Jesse having written about that date in my article directly above.

While I was looking for the above note, I also came across two of Jesse’s letters to Dr. Hinton during the writing of the book.  These two pages are from my own copy of the rough draft of the book. In these two letters, you will see that Jesse has chosen to live his life as Jesse since 1977.  Also you will see, in the above note to us and in Jesse’s reference to us in the letters below that Jesse’s book was always considered to be for all of us…not just Dr. Hinton.

Also, you will see that Elvis DID NOT choose to enter the Witness Protection program because as Jesse he wanted to be able to communicate with some people.

I hope that those who are scouring the Internet looking for the real Elvis and circulating petitions for him to be allowed to come out will read these words, written in the handwriting of Elvis Aron Presley himself, and take his words as the truth which they are.  He has NO wish nor intention to come out publicly.

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2015

I have something new to share about which I am very excited.   First I want to explain how this new very important piece of evidence came to my attention.  My very good friend and hero, Mark, who is the administrator of the “nuts and bolts” and who keeps my site working and designed the new version of my site as well, mentioned to me that he had re-scanned something and was amazed at the new clarity because he used an up to date scanner.  So, Mark suggested that I re-scan the photo of Jesse and Benjamin.  I have not scanned from the original copy, which Jesse gave me in 1997, since shortly after I began my web site…and I have a third generation of scanners now…been through 3 since I first scanned the photo.  So, last night I got out my copy from Jesse and did get a brand new scan.  Mark was correct, the quality of the scan is so much clearer.  Big hug to Mark for suggesting the new scan.

The good news is this:  Thanks to my wonderful friends, Susan, Lucilia and Noddy, we have proven earlier that Jesse has the very same scar on his right leg as Elvis did.  Well, when I enlarged the new scan last night, I saw clearly that Jesse also has the very same scar on his left leg as Elvis had.  In the Army physical photos of Elvis, it is seen very clearly that Elvis had matching scars on both of his legs.  In my 6 year old scan, we can only make out the one on the right leg.  But, now with the new much clearer scan, we can clearly see that Jesse does have the scars on both legs exactly as Elvis did.

Wanda June Hill recalls Elvis telling her how he got those scars when he was a child.  She isn’t sure now exactly what he said but she thinks it may have been burn scars from standing too close to an old fashioned wash pot.  These pots were usually cast iron, used outside in the yard,  and the fire was burned under the pot to heat water for washing.  I have never thought to ask Jesse about the scars…I just don’t ask prying questions of him.

If this final detail of proof does not convince even the skeptics, then I have to conclude that THEY DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE the truth which they can see with their own eyes.  I will display the new scan below along with two scans of Elvis from his Army physical.  I will display the original size of the new scan along with an enlarged view so everyone can see this clearly.

Below is the new scan…if you look closely, you can see the scars on both legs at matching locations on each leg.

 Below is the same scan enlarged…here you can see the scars more clearly:

 Here is a closeup of the scars on Jesse’s legs alongside a photo of Elvis’ scars during his Army physical:

I hope that the above proof will finally be enough to stop those who have published the photo of Rev. Dale Presley (holding his twin sons, Terry and Jerry, in the black and white 1950 photo) dead in their tracks.  I won’t mention any names!  I am sure most of my regular visitors know exactly to whom I am referring.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

I am sure that all my visitors, in the last few days, have noticed the new updated appearance of this web site.  Mark, my good friend and technical guru who keeps my site working and makes it possible for me to have this huge site, created the below new art work for the wall of all the pages on my site.  

Mark learned that Google is going to start giving more search results for sites which are mobile friendly and less to sites which are not.  So, we decided to have Mark and his staff revamp this site to make it mobile friendly.  So many people, nowadays, are using Smartphones, Android tablets and other means of accessing the Internet.  That is why it was very important to me to invest in upgrading this site so that it will continue to be very well represented in the Google search engine.

I want to share the beautiful new art which Mark created.  It is beautiful and I love it so much.  Below you can enjoy seeing the full image rather than just in the background of all my pages.

My thanks to Mark…so very much. ♥

I want to, once more, make everyone aware that the second book written by Wanda June Hill, ELVIS FACE TO FACE, is still available for FREE download from the ELVIS LIGHTED CANDLE website.  I urge everyone who has not taken advantage of this opportunity to obtain the book, to do so soon.  There is always a chance that the page on which this download is available could expire and there would no longer be a means of getting this wonderful book.  It is not available in print and so the download is the only means of obtaining it.

Here is the link:  http://www.elvislightedcandle.org/WJH/wjh_index.htm
