Vernon did an excellent job of keeping Elvis books. He kept everything.

Those financial records!!!! Historical gold!

it's so nice to learn that Elvis kept all the gifts from his many fans

WOW! Vernon was not only a great carpenter but also a gifted bookkeeper! Excellent!!! 👍👍👍👊

I love seeing everything about Elvis

What an interesting and fun job Angie has. She seems like a sweet lady. Vernon was so organised. TCB!!

Quickly skim over the pharmacy reciept 🤣🤣🤣

I used to use one of those IBM typewriters! Vernon must have had a crash course in book keeping, coming from his background with no office experience, to keeping meticulous records and notes on expenses. He must have been very forward thinking, keeping everything from when Elvis started to get famous. Did he know his son would eventually be a world superstar, and revered long after he died?

You couldnt pick a better person for Graceland's Vice Pres than Angie. What a lovely girl she is. Hope i meet her someday. And that tour was so awsome. Imagine all the stuff that Graceland keeps from Elvis's years. Amazing.

Vernon knew how to take care of business and Elvis knew that things got paid. What love and trust.

Wow these are just amazing. The movie brought me here and went down a rabbit hole. She has the best job ever.

She changed the subject fast and closed that receipt book quick and in a hurry when he mentioned that Pharmacy receipt. Lol

Angie Marchese has the most fabulous job in the world I love these Gates of Graceland episodes this one is fascinating. I wouldn't mind betting there aren't many offices that have all these documents still in pristine condition. I'm not a huge fan of Vernon but you have to hand it to him for keeping Elvis' accounts in order and never throwing anything away that in itself is a national treasure

If he did anything right it was keeping impeccable records. I will have to delve into how much he was able to keep an eye on Col Parker. I got the sense from the movie he was able to swindle a great deal but still seems Vernon had the forethought to keep that to a minimum at least.

Angie marcsse is also doing the stuff belonging to PRINCE. She’s having a great time with that too I’ll bet.

I love how she diverted the conversation when he mentioned the "pharmacy" on the billing. She couldn't change the subject fast enough. Love it!!!! Love you Elvis!!!

How cool that Elvis did keep all of the items he really was cooler than i always thought he was when you get to hear and see these stories this entire series is so interesting

That was very smart of Vernon to save everything! I need to start doing that myself!

This Great King Man, wasn't just a star, he was the whole entertainment universe!!!!

Humbleness and caring for his fans is unique to Elvis. There will never be another like him. Celebs today should have his sense of humbleness and kindness-but they don’t and probably never will.

That's amazing, Elvis was his own corporation, so Vernon was the business brain!! Wonderful video, many thanks!!

I could sit there all day & night, day after day until I went through ALL of those records that were kept from 1956 all through til a month or two after Elvis died in 1977 and never get bored. I find this very interesting. Thanks for sharing. It's nice to take a peek through the window of Elvis's life.

WE visited Graceland between oct and nov of 1988. We did not get to visit this office. I do not remember going out back. If I remember correctly, we got to see some horse stables and raquet ball courts alond the side behind the front of the house. What a great series this is. Thanks so much for this.

What an artist! What a legend.

One of my Fav things when I go Graceland tour Vernons office

Vernon really kept up with the bills at Graceland but Elvis was generous to a fault. Elvis was lucky to have his Dad TCB for him and Elvis knew that he could trust him. Bless his heart. After Elvis passed Vernon went down hill fast. I don't think he knew what to do with himself after Elvis was no longer with him. Great video. Thank you so much.

I loved this episode! Thank you for sharing this with us! 👏👏👏

Graceland is BEAUTIFUL!!! I WISH I HAD A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE ENTIRE HOUSE...I LOVE IT!!!

The green flag pin in the tray that Angie is holding at the 9:14 minute mark, are actually Nigerian flags celebrating when Nigeria got its independence from Britain in 1960. It is beyond cool to see a piece of Nigeria in Elvis Presley's home! I wonder what the story is there....maybe a Nigerian fan sent them...?

I’ve been in that office. But. You really can’t see all this. This was awesome 👏. Thank you

This just moves me in such a way I can’t explain! It’s actually fascinating! It’s sad too !! It’s heartbreaking his life went by fast and to see how much more he could have done ! Gone way way to soon 💔

She has the most amazing job ever! I can only imagine the things that she has laid her eyes on, I don't think I would even consider that a job, more like a privilege 💕

Vernon was a great book keeper!

She has the greatest job in the world. Helping to put pieces together of Elvis and family has to be exciting to get up every morning to show up to work. I would do anything to be able to have that kind of job.

Wow love to see all his things what a man Elvis was

I wasn’t going to share this but I just can’t help myself. Every time I see things about Elvis, it reminds me of my childhood and the great love at home with my parents right down the hall in their room. I would watch Elvis movies whenever, and on the weekend, at whatever time they came on. Lol...my dad would open my bedroom door on his way to the bathroom, and call me a night owl 😢😢 oh, how I miss them!! So, I’d watch Elvis movies all the time, in fact, he was my first official crush as a child. I held that crush forever! As I think on those times in my life, I can’t help but to smile and sing Love me tender in my mind!! AAAWWWW...., ELVIS!! May he FOREVER R.I.P.!!

Great show Tom & Angie! Fascinating stuff! Huge Elvis fan here, but haven't made it to Graceland yet. Hopefully I'll get there one day!!! Great job! Enjoyed it immensely!!

So, a new verb is born, thanks to Elvis. To TCB. I like it when, at the end, Tom says about Vernon that he teeseebeed / TCBd or however you write this. Graceland should get a patent for this, Elvis owns it. TCB, folks! :)
