Many, many years ago this man, the Elvis impersonator, the one on the right, and I became the best of friends. We became roommates while we worked for various radio stations and tried to save money. I haven't seen him in over 20 years!

He was performing on stage at a wonderful Opry Theatre and had no idea I was coming to see him. The crowd was enjoying themselves, singing along and he was amazing! I thought to myself, "What if he does his act and then just leaves out the backstage door and I don't get to let him know I was here?"

So as pretty girl after pretty girl came up to kiss Elvis and get a scarf as he sang, I thought I'd go get a picture. I knew the stage lights were in his eyes and he probably wouldn't see me, but as he was kissing a girl, I knelt down to snap a picture, he posed, then recognition and disbelieve passed over his face and in the middle of his singing he was thrown off and obviously moved by my appearance. He pointed, stuttered and held out his hand from the stage and not wanting to ruin his show I shook his hand, said, "I'm a big fan!" and with that stepped up and kissed him in front of the whole country crowd to screams of laughter and applause!

Between that and his next song he explained it all to his adoring fans about how true friendships never end even with too many years and too many miles separating the contact.

Here's the moment he recognized his long lost best friend after 20 years.
