Charles Paul Conn, President of Lee University in Cleveland, TN, recalling his younger days in an article published in the Cleveland Daily Banner, on October 21, 2017
“
All the Christians felt Elvis was a sin, so my sister Sarah and I loved Elvis, We obtained an Elvis record, sneaked it into dad's study to listen to it, BUT NOT BEFORE placing a towel across the bottom of the door to muffle the sound. I then obtained an autograph from him while I visited Memphis, which remains one of my treasured possessions.
