Another question I get asked all the time is "Why did you wait so long to do this if you knew about it in 1978?" The answer is simple. There was no way to prove my mother's claim then; now there is. In 1978 I was 23 years old with no resources. Now I am older, wiser and more confident. My mother and I didn't discuss this during those years because I asked her to stop talking to the media about the whole thing. So I never knew she had a letter from a woman who claimed that her daughter was Elvis' or that she had documents that proved the man listed as my father on my birth certificate was not. I only learned of the existence of these papers after my mother's death. Since I received these papers, we have researched whether or not this really could be true and we have not been able to come up with any evidence that it isn't. Tim
