My partner was a Seattle police officer who worked as a bodyguard for Elvis while filming “It happened at the worlds fair”This is a statement from my partner Roy who is the original signee.I am Roy Skagen, the one who was so lucky to work security for Elvis for two weeks in September 1962 while he was in Seattle filming his MGM movie “It Happened at the World’s Fair.” I was a rookie Seattle Police Officer and on the assignment I really got to know and admire Elvis so much! On the day I asked him if he’d sign this book about him, Col. Parker was just 10 feet away and I politely asked if he would sign it too. He seemed flattered that I wanted his signature also!Over my 30 year career, I rose through the ranks and retired as the Assistant Chief of the Seattle Police Department. But of all my memories of my career, meeting and working next to Elvis for two weeks was a real highlight for this Elvis fan. And the book has been safely in my possession all these years. I’m old now and it’s time the book resides with another Elvis Presley fan!- Roy SkagenHe got these from the king and the colonel himself.
