Elvis/Music: Vernon Presley Owned and Worn White Trousers Accompanied by an Elvis Presley Museum Letter with corporate seal hand signed by Daniel Johnson President and CEO, Jimmy Velvet Founder reading in part: The following information came from Chris Davidson the owner of the Elvis-A-Rama Museum before he sold to Graceland. "This item belonged to Vernon Presley and was obtained from Holbart and Bonnie Burnette. During the early 1960s Vernon purchased a home 1266 Dolan Dr, which is adjacent to Graceland along the southeaston wall. Elvis had a gate installed so that he could walk from his backyard directly into his father's house. After Elvis's divorce in 1973, Elvis spent more time over there to occasionally escape Graceland and its inhabitants. Elvis would sometimes stay over late into the night talking with his father about the old days, his philosophies about life and family. After Elvis's death, Vernon moved into Graceland and sold the Dolan home and all its contents to Holbart and Bonnie Burnette who owned the Hickory Log Restaurant across the street from Graceland. The Burnette's delivered food up to the house for the Memphis Mafia and on occasion Elvis or Vernon. This item was purchased from the Burnette's and was on display at the Elvis-A-Rama Museum for many years "
