Kathy Westmoreland: Elvis' Voice of an Angel
My passion for Elvis briefly stepped aside in 1963 when I met Don Moore, the man of my dreams. We soon married and had two wonderful children, who we named Mike and Shelly (yes after Shelley Fabres). They were of course both raised on Elvis, even seeing him at a live concert in 1977. Both are still huge Elvis fans to this day.   Today our son Mike lives in St. Louis, Missouri, with his lovely wife Sarah. The have given us two wonderful grandchildren, Cory and Megan, who we re devoting our lives to spoiling rotten.  Shelly s been in numerous magazines, rock videos, TV commercials, and has even appeared in a few movies. She s been a runway model all over the US and Europe. Her face has even graced billboards for hair products in France. She spends her spare time partying with big name celebrities, while I just listen to her stories with my mouth open.  In 1998 I tried my hand at becoming a full time writer. After being lucky enough to have several articles published in pet magazines, as well as articles in the Kids Say sections of several newspapers and magazines.  In 1999 I approached Suite 101 with the idea for a column on Elvis Presley. Luckily, they loved the idea and I went to work immediately as their Elvis Columnist, a job that would keep me busy for the next five years.   The Elvis column enabled me to interview many well-known celebrities from  Elvis circle of family and friends.  It also led to my weekly online Elvis Chat Club, that introduced me to numerous Elvis fans, some of which remain among my closest friends to this day.  One such friend is Melody Sanders, who would eventually become my writing partner. We soon became known as The Girls From ThemeStream and Suite 101 as we burned up the Web with our popular columns on both Elvis, and Elvis Tribute Artists. Eventually my second book came to light as Melody and I collaborated on Walk a Mile in Their Shoes.  In 2000 I approached Kathy Westmoreland for an interview and a new friendship began, as I said goodbye to Suite 101 and hello to becoming Kathy s assistant and webmaster.   Hopefully after reading Kathy Westmoreland: Elvis Voice of an Angel you ll get to know the real Kathy, and understand more fully why Elvis fell so deeply for this wonderful person who stood beside him both on and off stage, for the last seven years of his life.
