Tatiana,

First of all, I am very offended that you would call me a liar. That is and was extremely rude of you. We do support your club. Do you not receive information, invitations, emails, Christmas CDs from us? We have the Presidents' Forum which is for you and your club to get to know other Elvis fans around the world, get ideas from other presidents, and to ask questions and receive answers (immediately) from EPE. Now what do you want me to do? Shall I come to Russia and kill all those who have chosen to read and believe this ridiculous book? Would that make you happy? Unfortunately, that is against the law in the United States and I am sure, it is against the law in Russia too.

Tatiana, I don't know what you want us to do. We can't stop anyone from buying and publicizing this book and this book was published in the United States in 1987. So you can see this is a very old story here in the United States. The book is ridulous. Just because I can't do anything about these persons reading and believing this, doesn't mean that we are in support of Lucy de Barbin. We support only Elvis Presley, Lisa Presley, and Priscilla Presley. These persons have not become a register official fan club. They have not returned the official papers so until then, they are not recognized us. I am sorry but I don't understand the word "propagandize". Please explain what you mean by that word.

I am sorry but I didn't know of your messages beginning in August '03. I am assuming that Leslie got them and was trying to give you an answer. She then ask me about the situation and her answer to you was correct. May I suggest that you go to the media disclaiming the book and giving your side of the story. EPE does not believe this book to be a true and acculate account of Elvis Presley.
