The FADAL HOUSE? - (Eddie, LaNelle, Janice, Dana)

2807 Lasker Avenue, Waco, Texas.

 

Using weekend passes, Elvis would spend time at a friend's house in Waco. Eddie Fadal, whom Elvis first met in 1955, lived

in Waco and Elvis with the band and friends had visited their house previously. During this time he would show up in his black limousine unannounced with his entourage that included Anita Wood, Bill Norwood and his wife. Sometimes Vernon and Gladys would visit and she and Eddie's wife LaNelle would go shopping together. To accommodate Elvis, the Fadal's built an extra room onto the house and decorated it using a pink and black themed design (Elvis' favourite colours). They also furnished it with the latest collection of records for Elvis to listen to and generally unwind. Sometimes Anita Would stay for the weekend at the Fadal's and Mrs. Norwood would visit.
