What do Gene Hickerson and Elvis Presley have in common?



They were childhood friends. Gene and Elvis went to Grade School and played back yard football together. They were great friendsand Gene was on several excursions where Elvis bousgh a car and several minutes later gave it away. Bobby Franklin was also a friend of Elvis and the Pro Football Hall of Famer Gene Hickerson. As most of you know, Gene is in a nursing home and has pneumonia. Gene was a pleasure to interview. His pleasures in life were the birds on his property that he enjoyed watching, mowing his grass and his memories of the Browns.
