Currie Grant and his wife brought fourteen-year old Priscilla Beaulieu, whom he had met at the Eagle Club in Wiesbaden, to the house on Goethestrasse to meet Elvis. No one present missed his immediate attraction to the beautiful young girl in the blue and white sailor dress and White socks, and he told Charlie Hodge not long afterward that Priscilla is "like the woman I've been looking for all my life." From this point on, Priscilla would join the group that gathered at Elvis' house almost every evening during the week and again on weekends, a group that now included a new army buddy from Chicago, Joe Esposito.
