May 24th in Elvis History

It's May 24th, and on this day in 1945, Priscilla Ann Wagner was born in Brooklyn, New York. Tragically, her father, James Wagner, a Navy pilot, lost his life in an air crash later that year while returning home on leave. In 1949, her mother, Ann, remarried to Joseph Paul Beaulieu, an Air Force officer, who adopted Priscilla. The Beaulieu family moved frequently due to military postings, and by 1959, they were stationed at Wiesbaden Air Force Base in Germany, where a young Elvis Presley was also stationed. It was there that 14-year-old Priscilla met Elvis at his home in Bad Nauheim. By 1962, Priscilla moved to Memphis to live with Elvis at Graceland, and by 1967, the two were married, having their only child, Lisa Marie, later that year. Their marriage, however, would end in divorce in 1973.
