Edward Samarak, in a letter to the Editor of the Mystic Stamp Company following the publication of an article dated 28 October 2017 and entitled "Elvis’ Polio Vaccine Raises Immunization Levels"

Often overlooked, probably because of his immense popularity and mega-star status, Elvis was an extremely generous and compassionate human. I remember an appearance by Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show on a Sunday night while my grandmother was babysitting me. Sitting in a rocking chair and looking over the top of her glasses while she was knitting she uttered, “That boy is going places”. I was 7 or 8, she was 60 something and that moment is etched indelibly in my mind. Hey Nana, you were right.
